Chelsea Fox (also Atkins) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Tiana Benjamin from 2006 to 2010, and then Zaraah Abrahams from 2020 onwards.

On 12 January 2006, an official BBC press report announced the introduction of a new character to EastEnders, Chelsea Fox.

"[1][2] She added that the three actors who play the Fox family have a bond, commenting "We all respect and understand each other, and manage to have a good time while we're filming too.

"[1] Benjamin quit her role as Angelina Johnson in the Harry Potter film series in order to take the part.

[5] Upon Chelsea's arrival, she is seduced by Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp), unaware he is dating her to make Jane Collins (Laurie Brett) jealous.

Chelsea becomes friends with Deano Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) and initially works for Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) at his video shop, but is sacked.

She then finds employment at Tanya Branning's (Jo Joyner) salon, Booty, and falls for Sean Slater (Robert Kazinsky).

However, Sean is promiscuous and pursues other women, including Tanya and Carly Wicks (Kellie Shirley), while Chelsea wants a serious relationship.

Helped by her sister, Libby, Chelsea traces her father, Lucas Johnson (Don Gilet), who left her and Denise 20 years ago.

Chelsea and Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) both pursue Dr. Al Jenkins (Adam Croasdell), becoming rivals as the doctor is dating them both secretly.

Chelsea assists Jordan in his protest to get a tree planted in Trina's memory and manages to win Al.

Later, Chelsea and her colleague Amira Masood (Preeya Kalidas) worry that they are pregnant and take pregnancy tests.

She tells Amira that it was her test that was positive and promises to keep her secret when she leaves Walford after learning that her husband Syed (Marc Elliott) is gay.

Chelsea tells Libby about the bracelet, and after Denise is released without charge, they see her leaving the Square alone and receive a text message from her saying "I'm sorry", unaware that Lucas killed Owen and confessed to Denise, took her to a canal and strangled her, sending the text message before he threw the phone in the canal.

Whilst celebrating Libby's birthday, Denise walks in, revealing that she is not dead but that Lucas has been keeping her prisoner, and that he killed Trina and Owen.

Chelsea decides to move to Spain with Libby's grandmother, Liz Turner (Kate Williams), as people in Walford will only ever think of her as the daughter of a murderer.

In December 2020, Denise is surprised to see Chelsea (now played by Abrahams) with her father Lucas, who has recently been released from prison.

Patrick, in cooperation with Raymond's father Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), meets Chelsea at The Queen Victoria public house to inquire about Lucas' whereabouts.

While Phil is initially blamed for the attack, it is revealed that Chelsea's ex-boyfriend Caleb Malone (Ben Freeman) is responsible.

Chelsea enters a relationship with lawyer Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith), which is met with strong opposition from his former mother and father-in-law, Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley) and Mitch Baker (Roger Griffiths).

Throughout their relationship, Chelsea lives extravagantly off Gray's money and shows little interest in bonding with his children, Mia (Mahalia Malcolm) and Mackenzie (Isaac Lemonius).

Chelsea is horrified by Gray's control over her and decides to secretly register Jordan's birth certificate without his knowledge.

It is soon revealed that Gray had murdered Tina Carter (Luisa Bradshaw-White) and buried her body beneath The Argee Bharjee.

Gray flees when the police arrive and is later arrested after Whitney and Mitch prevent him from committing suicide by jumping off a railway bridge.

Whitney offers to move in with Chelsea to help care for Jordan, but they discover Gray has fallen behind in paying the rent, leading to their eviction.

Chelsea has a brief fling with Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) much to the annoyance of his ex-girlfriend Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean).

During their housewarming party, Denise reveals that Ravi had murdered his adoptive father Ranveer (Anil Goutam), and she ends their relationship once again.

Gray decides to sell his house to Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian), leaving Chelsea and Jordan homeless, and she returns to live with Patrick and Yolande.

During the Notting Hill Carnival celebrations, Penny decides to host a Caribbean themed night at Peggy's.

Star Zaraah Abrahams has seamlessly steered her character from 'proper madam' to a new mum navigating the challenges of life as a single parent; a far cry from the woman who plotted to use her killer dad for drug-trafficking!
