First look at Ian Beale’s new EEL shop as EastEnders set is transformed for Xmas

EASTENDERS has been turned into a winter wonderland as it films its explosive Christmas scenes including the culmination of the hotly-anticipated The Six plot.

New pictures show that Albert Square has truly been made over to celebrate the holidays in full swing.

But there is also another surprise nestled within the iconic Walford set – Ian Beale’s brand new business.

Paying homage to the East End and the delicacy of jellied eels, Ian appears to be operating a new EEL shop called ‘Beale’s Eels’.

Albert Square’s garden looked perfectly preened as it adorned by an abundance of classic fairy lights in order to make it sparkle well into the night.
