EastEnders<\/a> spoilers follow.<\/p>\n

EastEnders\u2019 Chelsea Fox feels the pressure next week as she secretly lets Gray Atkins\u2019 granny Sheila<\/a> become a bigger part of Jordan\u2019s life, while continuing to hide it from the family. Can Chelsea keep it together without cracking? <\/p>\n

“Chelsea has a lot on her plate at the moment,” begins our EastEnders insider. “Sheila is proving to be a great help, emotionally and financially, but Chelsea doesn\u2019t want anyone to know she\u2019s in touch with her because of the pensioner\u2019s connection to abuser Gray<\/a>. And we get the feeling Sheila might be up to something\u2026”<\/p>\n

Even though she\u2019s used to being an independent single parent and does her best to provide for her little boy, Chelsea\u2019s had a curveball chucked into her life thanks to recent events. Cashflow is now an increasingly big concern, as Jordan\u2019s injuries require specialist \u2013 and expensive \u2013 treatment. <\/p>\n

When Sheila got in touch out of the blue, wanting to get to know her great grandson, Chelsea was initially reluctant as she didn\u2019t want any reminders of Jordan\u2019s dastardly dad, who\u2019s locked up for murder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, she doesn\u2019t have much choice, hence reluctantly accepting Sheila\u2019s monetary contributions to Jordan\u2019s care<\/a> \u2013 with Chelsea\u2019s sister Libby the only relative in the know. <\/p>\n

Ordinarily, Chelsea would turn to her mother in this darkest of hours, only poor Denise is in hospital being treated for acute myeloid leukaemia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This requires her to be in isolation for a lengthy period to avoid infection, so she can\u2019t have any contact with her loved ones. Chelsea\u2019s finding this especially hard, but Sheila is only too happy to swoop in while Denise is absent\u2026<\/p>\n

“Sheila knows Chelsea isn\u2019t crazy about having her around,” notes our source. “It\u2019s understandable, but it\u2019s a chance to connect with her great-grandson after already missing out on so much. To get Chelsea on side, Sheila buys Jordan an expensive wheelchair needed for his rehabilitation \u2013 how can she turn her away now?”<\/p>\n

Chelsea is overwhelmed by the gesture, and while she\u2019s grateful, she\u2019s also dreading telling the wider Fox-Trueman clan about Jordan\u2019s fairy great-grandmother, and she\u2019s becoming suspicious about Sheila\u2019s true intentions<\/a>. <\/p>\n

A heated exchange between them about access to Jordan leaves Chelsea shaken, leading to her giving Sheila her marching orders<\/a>! What will Sheila\u2019s next move be? <\/p>\n

EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.<\/p>\n
