The Vic on fire!

The first pictures of the spectacular fire in EastEnders that is going to destroy the Queen Victoria pub and change Walford forever have been released and drug addict Phil Mitchell is to blame!

The dramatic shots from scenes due to air next week show Phil (Steve McFadden) fighting with his mum and pub landlady Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor) before he sets fire to her beloved boozer.

Phil's dangerous actions soon put local lives in danger, including trapped couple Max Branning (Jake Wood) and Vanessa Gold (Zoe Lucker). Will the pair survive and who else is trapped in the inferno?

It has been widely speculated that the blaze, which allowed EastEnders to rebuild the Queen Vic set for the show's move to HD, may see the demise of the Peggy. Windsor announced her departure earlier this year and if Peggy were to perish in the blaze it would certainly be a dramatic and emotional exit for the legendary soap queen.

Other well-loved characters including Minty Peterson (Cliff Parisi) and Charlie Slater (Derek Martin) are also due to depart the show soon and could be set for exciting exits if they were to perish in the fire.

As the inferno rips through The Vic, can anyone escape or will local lives be lost?
The scenes air on Thursday 9th September at 7.30pm on BBC One.
