EASTENDERS star Jamie Borthwick has confessed he has NO idea who attacked Cindy Beale - and his future on the soap’s live 40th anniversary is in doubt.
The 30-year-old admits he doesn't yet know whether he'll appear in the highly-anticipated live episode on February 19.
He also told The Sun at the Strictly Live tour launch that he was kept in the dark about the Christmas whodunit storyline.
Asked if he knows the identity of the mystery attacker who whacked controversial Cindy around the head with a shovel on Christmas Day, Jamie said: "I don't know."
"I said that I did, but I don't.
"They've kept that very under wraps.
"All over Christmas it was brilliant, but I wasn't really a part of it because I was obviously away, but the episodes were fantastic."
He's now on a nationwide tour with Strictly Come Dancing as he once again competes for the glitterball trophy.
Jamie and his dance partner Michelle Tsiakkas are one of seven couples performing 30 shows over the next three weeks.
They're joined by Montell Douglas and Kai Widdrington, Wynne Evans and Katya Jones, Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec, JB Gill, Amy Dowden and Lauren Oakley, Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola; Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu.
Then less than two weeks later, EastEnders will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a live episode.
Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw said: "Whilst we’re still keeping the finite details of the 40th close to our chest, I can promise that it will be an unmissable week full of shocking twists that will change Albert Square, and the lives of those who live in it, forever."
While the prospect of performing live may be daunting for some, Jamie says his experience on Strictly Come Dancing has successfully helped him prepare.
"I don't know if I'm in the live episode yet," Jamie told us.
"If I was to be in it, I'd be like 'oh, are we live?' I wouldn't even really notice. Do you know what I mean?
"Before Strictly it would have been such a big deal because it's something I wasn't that comfortable with doing in front of millions of people.
Cindy Beale was dramatically attacked at the end of the highly-anticipated Christmas Day special.
But there is question on the lips of every fan, who exactly was behind it?
Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe): She blackmailed Cindy to get out of Walford before kicking her husband George out following his surprise reaction to the public revelation about the affair. Cindy also called her 'withered' in her long rant.
George Knight (Colin Salmon): He claimed he was not interested in reigniting things with his ex-wife. But he was left enraged by his son's behaviour, leaving his relationship with Elaine in ruins.
Junior Knight (Micah Balfour): He was caught suspiciously lurking in the shadows by Denise in the aftermath of the attack. He was hurt by Cindy because she claimed their affair only happened because he reminded her of his father George.
Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt): After finding out about the affair, hew kicked Cindy out in anger. He then trashed his living room, he stormed out the house and appeared to be unreachable at the time of the attack and in the aftermath.
Kojo Asare (Oludayo Koleosho): After finding out about Cindy's affair, she put him into a coma when she pushed him off a raised platform. Could he want revenge?
Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth): She was the one to find Cindy on the pavement in the Square gardens after she was attacked with the snow shovel. Kathy always remained suspicious of Cindy because of her past and was devastated at the destruction of her family.
Anna Knight (Molly Rainford): Was seen looking out of the upstairs window with a birds eye view of the square at the time Cindy went to get her cab.
Gina Knight (Francesca Henry): Recovering addict Gina snuck out of the Vic with her coat to go on a 'walk', just before the attack took place.
Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa): Cindy got Lauren addicted to smack and revealed her addiction to her family, leaving Peter devastated and her family destroyed. Just before Cindy was attacked, Lauren was contemplating taking more pills in the car lot.
Peter Beale (Thomas Law): Cindy destroyed the family unit they all shared by her actions. She then called him 'stupid' in her extensive monologue in the Vic which left his drowning his tears.
"Now, if I can do something I'm comfortable with in front of millions of people, it would seem a walk in the park. Yeah. I've got a feel for that."
