But after a tortuous lockdown, Chantelle finally decided to flee – and run away with Kheerat and the children.

But viewers watched Gray thwart Chantelle’s plan to flee on a family holiday to Southend when he suspected her plans and managed to keep the children at home with him.

The abusive husband then dragged Chantelle and the kids home, where he eventually ended up killing his wife when she blurted out that she’s leaving him.
