There’s shock heading for Chantelle Atkins in next week’s EastEnders when she makes a shocking discovery that will change her life forever.
The mum of two has got a busy week ahead of her when she has an important assessment at work, before also competing in a hairdressing competition which everyone hopes will put the new salon on the map.
However, as always, her controlling husband Grey is in the background pulling her strings and making life a misery at home.

As Chantelle goes ahead with the assessment at work, she manages to pass with flying colours, making everyone around her proud.
Everyone that is apart from Grey, who is secretly fuming as everyone fusses around his wife at The Vic as they celebrate.
Desperate to get Chantelle home and put her in her place, Grey takes her to one side and orders her home.
But she is adamant she is staying with her family, and Grey sabotages the celebrations to make sure the party is soon over.
As Grey feels increasingly left out by the Taylors, he takes it out on Chantelle, turning nasty at home… but just when it seemed that Chantelle’s day couldn’t get any worse, she makes a shocking discovery that will change everything.
Chantelle struggles to process the news she has uncovered and on the day of the salon competition she finds her mind isn’t on the job in hand.
But everyone rallies around to support her, and soon Karen is stepping in as her model, and Chantelle gets down to the final two in the competition.
But while her family are thrilled, Grey is manipulating his wife from afar, sending her abusive texts messages and putting her down.
In the end Chantelle shocks everyone by forfeiting her place to keep her husband happy, only to arrive home to a fuming Grey because she is late home for their romantic meal.
