Close behind is Ashley Thomas, whose car was the first to crash, when James landed on it, with 10% of voters predicting he will die, while Emma Barton and Pierce Harris earned 17% of the votes each.

7% of readers voted for Aaron Dingle, while 6% chose Paddy Kirk and just 4% went for Robert Sugden.

The whole week of episodes has been praised by fans, and Thursday’s 15 car pile-up certainly lived up to the hype.

It hasn’t just been about huge stunts and action-packed scenes though, and some of the week’s best moments have included just two or three characters sharing a tender moment.
