The nurse has claimed the lives of Leanna Cavanagh and Andrea Tate in recent months, and we know she was also involved in the death of her friend Nadine.

Now the question is: who will Meena’s next victim be? Could one of the villagers meet their maker during the festive season?

Victoria found herself trapped in David's bedroom but was spotted by Meena (ITV)

She’s already tried to end Victoria’s (Isabel Hodgins) life once, but will Meena bide her time and make another attempt? After all, she’s definitely not over the other woman’s betrayal with ex-beau David Metcalfe.

Meena doesn’t let go of her grudges, so Victoria could certainly be at risk this winter...
