EastEnders fans have been taken aback by the sheer amount of people living in The Queen Vic’s living quarters.
Now don’t get us wrong, the boozer is a pretty big building, but there are currently eleven people sleeping across four rooms.
That’s without the inclusion of Tyson the dog!
Earlier this week we saw Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) offer fiancé George Knight’s (Colin Salmon) estranged family a place to stay in Walford.
George hadn’t seen his son Junior (Micah Balfour) in years, and was shocked to come face to face with him at the underground boxing ring he’d been illegally fighting at.
In a further surprise, he then discovered Junior has a secret wife, Monique (Busayo Ige) and a son, Xavier (Chase Dean-Williams).
The shock is just the latest in a long line of misery for poor George, who has had a horrific year ever since finding out he was adopted as part of a baby farming agreement in the 60s.
Trying to find out more about his birth parents, he then learnt that his adoptive father Eddie (Christopher Fairbank) had murdered his birth dad Henry. At Eddie’s trial, his wife Gloria (Elizabeth Counsell) suffered a heart attack and died hours later.
The man needs a break.
Elsewhere in the household are his daughters Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) and Anna Knight (Molly Rainford), plus Elaine’s daughter Linda Carter (Kellie Bright).
Linda murdered Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) on Christmas Day when protecting her friend Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), and after falling off the wagon again, her son Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) arrived in Walford to keep an eye on her.
Her youngest children, Ollie and Annie, are also Queen Vic residents.

The realisation that the pub is packed to the rafters has sent X/Twitter into a frenzy.
Can’t sleep because I can’t stop trying to work out how it can be possible for 11 people to be living upstairs in the Queen Vic in EastEnders
