Watch the moment that ‘proves’ EastEnders’ Nish is faking terminal illness after series of clues spotted by fans
EASTENDERS fans have spotted ‘proof’ Nish Panesar is faking his terminal illness.
The killer businessman - who is played by actor Navin Chowdhry in BBC soap - is blackmailing ex-wife Suki over her role in Keanu Taylor’s killing at Christmas.
He is forcing her to reunite with him and be his wife for as long as he remains alive.
The sick plot was hatched in yesterday’s episode and tonight Suki revealed to Stacey that it was only for one day and two nights - and then Nish would be handing himself in and taking the blame for Keanu’s murder.
This all makes sense because Nish wants control of Suki and is also already dying so has nothing to really lose.
However after he overheard Suki tell Stacey she would “cut him dead” the minute he was in prison, Nish moved the goalposts.

After getting their reunion blessed, Nish delighted in telling Suki that he had no plans to hand himself in.
He told her: “Thank you for what you’ve done. It comforts me to know that I will live out my final days here in our family home with you by my side.”
“You promised to go to the police tomorrow,” she replied, horrified.
But Nish told her: “And you promised if I went to prison that you would honour our relationship until the day I die, not cut me dead.
“But enough talk about death, right now I feel like I could live forever.”
His last line - and surprisingly sprightly actions for a dying man - have fans convinced that Nish isn’t in fact dying.
One wrote: “Am amazed given he was apparently at death's door two weeks ago Nish has made a remarkable recovery.
“Almost like he isn't terminally ill at all the way he was pushing Suki around and attacking her!”
A second said: “The NHS is truly working wonders these days - the terminally ill Nish with only weeks to live finding the strength to overpower Suki on the stairs.”
Another added: “I tend to forget that Nish is meant to be dying.”
Darkest soap storylines
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock...
A fourth commented: “Nish seems to go from a hospital bed or slumped somewhere gasping for air to walking around in his crisp suit antagonising and pulling strings and back again with remarkable frequency.”
“Ugh Nish bellowing,” said another. “I don’t really find it too convincing. Also shouldn’t he be collapsing with chest pains from all this exertion?”
