EastEnders fans spot stalker Leo King’s stall name ‘Nite And Whey’ is an anagram for Whitney Dean

Eagle-eyed EastEnders fans spotted a worrying development in this week’s episodes after the name of Leo King’s stall was revealed as ‘Nite And Whey’ – an anagram of Whitney Dean.

Stalker Leo’s (Tom Wells) true identity was revealed to Whitney (Shona McGarty) in November, leading to an explosive showdown between the ex-couple when it emerged he was the son of Tony King – her late abusive father figure.

Paedophile Tony groomed 12-year-old Whitney in a hard-hitting storyline on the BBC One drama back in 2008. 

Leo, who pursued a relationship with Whitney believing he could prove she was lying about his father’s abuse, fled the East End in December after learning how his father’s abuse deeply affected her whole life.

He returned this week, setting up his health drinks stall next to Whitney’s fashion stall and following her around Albert Square.

Now viewers suspect Whitney may be in danger again after signs point to obsessive behavior by Leo, who claims he is in love with her.

Fans took to Twitter to share the discovery of the anagram in the background of this week’s episodes. 

One Twitter user named @Emziiee14 wrote: ‘Anyone clock this???? Leo’s new stall is called ‘Nite and Whey’ – an anagram of Whitney Dean. Whitney, you in danger, girl.’

Another added: ‘I can’t get over Leo’s stall name being an anagram of Whitney Dean. So subtle, yet creepy af #EastEnders.’ 

EastEnders scriptwriter Kyri Zindilis tweeted: ‘I can’t believe how quickly some of you cracked that Leo’s stall ‘Nite and Whey’ was an anagram of Whitney Dean.

‘I’m very impressed! #EastEnders’ 

He added: ‘All credit goes to one of the script editors, Cleo Bicat (and @MarkJamesLowe). I couldn’t even work it out after they told me.’
