Everyone has been busy wondering who killed Lucy Beale - and now it seems as if the answer has been revealed in a suspected storyline leak.

READ: DID JANE KILL LUCY BEALE?

Spoiler: It's apparently her stepmother Jane Beale, something which we've suspected ourselves here at Closer for a long while now!

A female customer at a central London branch of Ladbrokes placed 25 bets on Jane Beale being revealed as Lucy’s killer and in a matter of hours Jane’s odds had collapsed into favouritism at 2/1 (from 16/1) before the bookies pulled the plug.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "We smell a rat and have been forced to suspend betting on the Eastenders whodunit.

"Our mystery punter’s going to have to wait a while to collect her winnings if she’s right, but for the time being we’re not prepared to take any more bets."

Ben Hardy, who plays Lucy's twin brother Peter, backed up the claims, telling Inside Soap: "I found out some more information that is leading me to believe that it wasn't Peter.

"I am starting to think the killer could be Jane."

Meanwhile EastEnders is planning to mark its 30th anniversary in February next year with a live episode, with more live scenes throughout the week and culminating in the dramatic conclusion to the Lucy murder saga.

This will be done in order to keep Lucy’s killer a secret until the last possible moment.
