You only have about 24 hours left to place your vote through bbc.co.uk/EastEnders, as voting will end at 7:10 pm sharp.

After the tally and confirmation of the results, Chris Clenshaw will receive the outcome with a 20-minute window to verify the chosen script prior to the 7:30pm live broadcast commencement.
