Viewers of EastEnders have been left heartbroken as Chantelle Atkins appeared to suffer a miscarriage.
In last night’s episode of the soap (October 21 2019) Chantelle’s husband Gray wanted his wife to stay at home.
However, he didn’t look happy when he saw her working a shift in the Fox & Hair salon to help out Denise.
Along with her mum Karen, he organised a family celebration in The Vic where he announced they were expecting their third child.
But poor Chantelle had been suffering with stomach pain in the salon and continued to have pains.

After Gray announced the news, she went into the toilet, but as she looked down she started crying, leading viewers to believe that she was bleeding and potentially miscarrying.
Chantelle’s miscarriage scene broke my heart.
Gray, who is abusive towards Chantelle, soon came into the bathroom and apologised for announcing the news but explained he was excited for a new beginning.
He told his wife he didn’t want anything bad to happen to the baby and Chantelle didn’t tell him about the pain or bleeding.
Viewers were heartbroken by the scenes.

My heart broke for Chantelle tonight, such an awful situation. Gray should be her source of comfort, not of fear. I wish she would tell someone, though obviously its not that easy. Poor love. #Eastenders

Viewers know Gray is abusive towards Chantelle and has physically harmed her many times, even locking her in the house.

Since discovering she was pregnant, Gray has been telling his wife he wants to change and has been attending therapy for his anger.
Fans think Chantelle will lose her baby, but won’t tell her husband in order to stop the solicitor from hurting her.
I honestly can’t blame Chantelle if she lies to him about being still pregnant. Anything to stop him hurting her. 😪 #EastEnders

Will Chantelle tell Gray or will she keep it secret to protect herself from Gray's temper #EastEnders
