Denise Fox’s downfall was “exposed” when she “sealed her fate” on Tuesday night’s episode of EastEnders.
Denise turned to her murderous ex-husband Lucas Johnson for help for the second time in the latest installment as she sought support following the cover-up of Keanu Reeve’s murder on Christmas Day.
He went to see Lucas for the first time in recent episodes, but Denise visited him again on Tuesday night.
During the visit, he got her to imply that she and The Six killed Keanu. The Six have been desperately trying to cover up the murder since Christmas.
He begged her to confess what she was hiding and told her that he was the person she could trust.
He told her: ‘Confess and you’ll be free,’ to which Denise replied: ‘You won’t tell, do you swear?’ before dropping the others anonymously telling her ex that it wasn’t just her who was involved.
She said: ‘It’s not just my secret, the others… you don’t know what they’ll do. You don’t know what they are capable of.
Lucas then told her to “unburden her soul,” and she finally confessed, “I buried him, I put him in the ground.”
The episode then ended dramatically and viewers will have to tune in to the next installment to see what happens next.
It has not yet been confirmed whether Lucas will uncover the whole story or if Denise will tell more about what happened.
