EastEnders fans have finally found out why DCI Keeble has a vendetta against the Mitchells.
The BBC soap aired an explosive flashback episode on Monday night (September 5) which revealed the link between Keeble (Alison Newman) and the troublesome Mitchell family.
The DCI has been desperate for Phil (Steve McFadden) to grass on his cousin Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) and told him she wanted to check Billy off her list next.

Keeble recently struck a deal with Phil to secure his release from prison as the hard-man has become an informant for her, but he's suspicious of the cop and has been trying to unearth her ulterior motive.
The flashback episode opened in the present day, with Keeble urging Phil to dish on his family member.
Phil asked: "He's family; he's a Mitchell. Why are you doing this to me?" before the screen faded to black and viewers were transported to the 1970s.
It appears Phil's father Eric (George Russo) shot and killed Keeble's father on one of his criminal outings with a younger Phil (Daniel Delaney) and his brother Grant (Teddy Jay).
