Last night, millions of people watched Eastenders for the first time since… last Christmas. And if there’s one thing you’re guaranteed in Albert Square at Christmas it’s a grim/tragic/unnecessary death while a festive banger blares from the pub – and that’s exactly what happened last night. So, the natural question posed is whether you’d survive the Battle Royale that is Eastenders in December if you were a character. Find out here:

Are you the kind of character that wears a full festive outfit down the pub or do you keep it more casual?

I'd wear a full santa hat and matching jumper
Nah, nice clothes will do
How would you describe your love life right now?

Steady - no surprises here
Quiet
A disaster zone
All over the shop

You would die after getting into a feud with the Mitchell family
We told you about fighting with Phil Mitchell. Following a few drinks in the pub, you're walking home through a deserted Albert Square when he corners you about owing him £5. Instead of paying him, you fight him for no reason and die suddenly. *drums play*

You died following an unfortunate incident with a chipper van
It was in Albert Square to serve people after the pub, but the driver didn't see you stumbling out the door as he reversed the van so he'd be able to dispose of the grease in a nearby bin. What a way to go.

You miraculously survived
Despite numerous cockney gangs wanting you dead, you've made it into the new year safe and sound. Well done! Probably best to move away from Albert Square for about a month next December though.
