In tonight's episode, Teddy offered hitman Benji £60,000 to move Shireen’s body, however he wasn't having any of it, demanding £150,000 instead.

A stressed Nicola told Teddy they should sell Harry's Barn, something that devastated Teddy. However, then offered to lend Teddy £100,000 to help get him out whatever mess he was in.

At the end of the episode, Benji was seen attempting to dig up Shireen's body, before he was surrounded by police. "It's Nicola Mitchell you want!" he could be heard screaming to the police as they took him away. The camera then panned to Teddy, who could be seen looking on from his car. Therefore, it's presumed Teddy was the one who set him up.

However, fans have been left confused by his plan, stating that it really wasn't clever at all. Taking to to discuss the episode, one fan penned: "Calling the police is dumb surely? He [Benji] told his associates that he'd gone to meet Nicola and now he's suddenly been arrested? They'll come after them now?"

Another responded: "Yeah, like where tf is the logic here? Nicola's bracelet is buried with Shireen. Teddy was adamant he didn't want to hurt Harry but Shireen turning up dead will do that, especially when they find mummy dearests bracelet.

"Basically, Teddy had just blown this wide open. I wonder if it's something to do with his chat with Phil that he's thrown Nicola under the bus?"

A third replied: "Unless somehow, using the magic of time travel, Teddy went and dug up the body, got the bracelet back, reburied it and then phoned the police?"

A fourth agreed: "I thought this. The only way I can square it is that Teddy thinks throwing Nicola under the bus and getting Benji arrested will protect the kids, but surely if anything it's putting the spotlight back on Harry if he's there shouting about the Mitchells."

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
