We have been travelling the country meeting the people for whom the nominees for the Virgin Media Must-See Moment of 2020 were most memorable – and to discover why they mattered so much. The moments that made us cry. The ones that made us laugh. The ones that made us stop and learn.

When EastEnders returned after its filming hiatus last year, the nation was gripped during some of the most shocking scenes in the programme’s history. We caught up with fans of the show to find out what that scene meant to them.

EastEnders – Gray kills Chantelle

The threat of violence hangs in the air once more. But this time Chantelle’s alive with a burning resolve, having finally summoned the courage to leave her violent and controlling husband. She’s found her voice, and knows it’s now or never.

Terrified but determined, and propelled by adrenaline, she cuts into Gray’s ego, forcing him to listen as she tells him she’s leaving him and taking the kids with her. She’s frank in saying she doesn’t love him anymore. As the scene reaches its harrowing crescendo, a defiant Chantelle screams at Gray to get out of her way.

Humiliated, Gray refuses to let Chantelle leave and, in a violent tussle, murders her.
