But tonight, driven mad by his obsession over Kush’s girlfriend Whitney Dean and her leaving the country with him, Gray decided to kill Kush to keep her.

As Kush, Whitney and Arthur waited for the tube, Arthur said he needed the toilet and not wanting to be left alone - Whitney took him leaving Kush behind.

But after she'd gone, Gray appeared and he was unhinged.

You're forcing her to leave for her own mistakes. Why would she leave her job, her life, her money, her friends. You are ruining her life.

Kush told Gray he was imagining his feelings towards Whitney - and that it was his grief over Chantelle's death talking.

"You will not take her away from me and my children," Gray thundered.

"She's everything to me, she's my life, she's mine."

"That's fantasy Gray, your brain ain't right - you need help," Kush told him.

"I don't need help, I need Whitney," Gray said before attacking Kush.

He was easily overpowered and Kush threw him onto the tube lines where Gray decided to stay despite Kush begging him to get up.

"Gray you've got to get up, give me your hand," he shouted and finally convinced him to get up.

"You could have killed yourself," Kush shouted at him after dragging him out.

But turning around, Gray threw himself into Kush and pushed him in front of the oncoming tube train.

As Kush was crushed under the wheels in the horror scenes, Gray simply pulled up his hood and calmly walked away.
