EastEnders fans believe they’ve uncovered a chilling twist following a spoiler about Nish Panesar.

On Tuesday (May 21), new spoilers for the BBC soap hinted at a grim fate for Nish,

suggesting he might exit in a shocking death twist. After weeks away from Walford, he’s set to stun his family with the news that he’s dying.

Spoilers indicate that the character is rushed to hospital after a fall, which occurs just moments after he shares some significant news with his family. His return comes after his family kicked him out following his grim behaviour.

Appearing frail upon his return, he attempts to reconcile with his family, but things don’t go as planned. His family accuses him of lying about his illness, and it’s not yet been revealed in the spoilers what exactly is wrong with him.

As the week progresses, he begs his relatives to trust him, hoping to make amends before he dies. But is he being truthful, and does this confirm that Nish will be written out of the show?

Viewers suspect it’s all a ruse, and given his past antics, who can blame them? Some even remembered his ex-wife Suki’s own fabricated illness from a previous storyline, leading many to wonder if Nish is pulling a similar stunt.

Fans are convinced that Nish Panesar is hiding the truth and isn’t actually dying, with fans taking to social media to air their suspicions. One fan pointed out: “Nish using the same lie that Suki used when she first arrived in Walford except it’s not cancer.”

Another wrote: “Blimey both Nish and Suki like using fake illness stories to control their family don’t they?” Another sceptic added their two pence and said: “When he drops dead I’ll believe it,” and another viewer predicted: “It will inevitably be a lie.”

Somebody else asked “What if Nish isn’t really dying? They won’t let him quietly fade away will they?? There’s got to be more to the story.”
