EastEnders fans ‘work out’ Chelsea Fox’s new boyfriend as they plead with bosses to pair her with soap legend
EASTENDERS fans have 'worked out' Chelsea Fox's new boyfriend - and beg soap bosses to make them official.
The long-running BBC One soap delivered on drama this week as Chelsea Fox lashed out at Jack Branning.
She was left seething when she was told how the copper was sleeping with Stacey in a betrayal to her mother Denise.
Martin Fowler returned to the Square earlier this week as James Bye reprised his role after a brief break.
The fruit and veg trader caught his ex Stacey in a passionate kiss with Jack and demanded answers.
Not satisfied, he let slip their affair to Chelsea, who is played by Zaraah Abrahams.

But eagle-eyed viewers couldn't help but notice Martin and Chelsea's apparent chemistry together.
It's led them to suspect they'll end up together as they pleaded with EastEnders bosses to make it happen.
Taking to a web forum, one fan said: "Not sure if I'm reading too much into their scenes tonight but could the show be setting up a fling or relationship between her and Martin in the future."
A second wrote: "I'm kind of here for Chelsea and Martin after their scenes today. Aside from having some decent chemistry it would give a bit of focus to two characters who have been drifting for a while."

"A slightly gratuitous thread, but I'm finally feeling excited about Chelsea's future now that she's appearing more consistently again and I wonder what sort of storylines we'd all like to see for her going forward," said a third.
Chelsea hasn't had the best luck when it comes to relationships, having narrowly avoided becoming killer Gray Atkins next victim.
EastEnders airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
