EastEnders fans have spotted a HUGE clue that Martin Fowler WILL die in explosive 40th anniversary episode - and it was ‘given away’ WEEKS ago.

The bar menacingly fell from above with Martin unable to move on the ground before it trapped him completely.

In the horrifying scenes, the bar could be seen crushing him as he screamed out in pain.

And it looks like his fate could well and truly be sealed after the soap released photos of aftermath of the accident.

In upcoming scenes, new pictures from the BBC show a vast array of flowers left outside the gutted pub and where Martin's fruit and veg stall usually stands.

Viewers are convinced mourners have placed the flowers in that spot as a sign of respect to Martin.

One wrote: "The flowers are in the same spot as Martin's fruit and veg, I wonder if this is a sign that he's dead."

A second posted: "I think Martin is dead, the photos of the flowers next to Martin's stall makes me think he died in the explosion."

"I can’t believe I have to wait 24 hours to find out if my beloved Martin is dead while the abysmal Cindy, nugget and Freddie all got out alive. My ofcom complaint is already written if he’s dead TRUST ME," a third said.

Now, actor James has sparked even more concern that Martin could be dead for good.

Following the broadcast of the episode, James took to Instagram to share a tribute post to the show which many of his fans took as being a goodbye to the show that made him a star.

Alongside a collection of images of him as Martin, James wrote a lengthy caption about his time on the show.

The actor said: "A decade ago, I was welcomed into the EastEnders family at Elstree—and that’s exactly what we are.

"No doubt, it’s a madhouse most days, but it’s also a place filled with people, both on and off screen, who pour their hearts into this show every single day.

"It’s truly special, and I feel incredibly lucky to be part of it, surrounded by the amazing people who make EastEnders what it is.

"Happy 40th @bbceastenders."

The sentimental message caused concern among his fans as many shared their devastation at the thought of him dying.

Writing underneath the post, one fan said: "Is your post a good bye… no we love Martin and you are the best Martin of them all."

Another added: "If Martin dies then we riot."

A third show superfan then declared: "Don’t you dare be going anywhere cause I’ll be fuming."

Before a fourth passionately commented: "I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again!

"I swear to our lord and saviour Dorothy Cotton that if Martin dies I will never ever watch EastEnders again after this happened!

"They should be allowed to sit on that sofa together till they’re old and I won’t have anything else."
