EastEnders is set to reference the dramatic Euro 2020 final in Monday night’s episode, the BBC has confirmed. A scene featuring a nod to Italy’s win over England in the tournament was written and filmed the morning after the match, and will be inserted into the latest instalment of the soap. Soap bosses confirmed the scene will feature Albert Square residents Billy Mitchell, Kim Fox and Bobby Beale. It’s far from the first time EastEnders has hastily filmed scenes about topical events to insert into episodes that have been shot weeks previously. In 2018, Danny Dyer filmed scenes as Mick Carter passing comment on England’s success in the World Cup.
