BBC EastEnders fans 'work out' who attacked Cindy - and it's not one of the suspects

EastEnders are convinced they've worked out who attacked Cindy Beale - and it's not any of the suspects.

Cindy (Michelle Collins) was attacked on Christmas Day and a police investigation is underway with members of her family all prime suspects including husband Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) and her own children Peter Beale (Thomas Law), Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) and Gina Knight (Francesca Henry).

Cindy's daughters Gina and Anna convinced reluctant dad George Knight (Colin Salmon) to go and see Cindy but as George quizzed him on what he was really up to, Ian wouldn't allow him access.

With the family starting to wonder if Ian himself struck Cindy down, George's wife Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe) invited Ian to the pub on false pretences so that George could get to Cindy.

George urged Cindy not to trust Ian, armed with information on Ian's role in covering up Denny Rickman's (Bleu Landau) death. Meanwhile, Ian soon worked out Elaine's game, seeing right through her "offer" to buy Beale's Eels.

Storming back to the house, Ian confronted George, who was in the middle of suggesting that Ian was behind Cindy's injuries. Ian retaliated by accusing George, goading him to the point where he hit Ian.

Ian was smug in the face of George's violence, and George fled, leaving Cindy in shock and denying George could hurt her, while Ian attempted to report the incident to the police.

Back at The Vic, George retreated to the cellar, where Elaine found him brooding over his actions but when he spotted what looked like a bloody footprint, and the blood-spattered shovel used to hit Cindy, George and Elaine stared at each other in shock. Who has hidden the weapon in the pub, and does this mean one of the Knights is the culprit?
