Amid speculation over the cause of the fire, some fans think they have worked out who might die. fans think it could be linked to Nish Panesar’s prison escape and his revenge plan.

Amid fans fearing for the safety of Suki and Eve, some viewers are wondering if he will start a fire.
There are also fears for his sons Ravi Gulati and Vinny Panesar, as well as his grandson Nugget. Taking to X, one fan said: “Okay, my prediction for the Queen Victoria Fire. Sukeve gets hitched and has their wedding reception at the VIC.
“Nish wades in and either publicly sets fire or does it in secret. Vic goes up in flames, and one of the Panesars (Vinny or Nugget) perishes alongside Nish.”
Another theory agreed: “Be the end of Nish.” Others feared for the Carter family and the Knights. A theory read: “Babe’s curse has truly come full circle. Over the years, the Carters have gradually deteriorated and the fire marks the end!” Another said: “Rest in peace The Knights.”
