*WARNING: Spoilers ahead*

We’re still two weeks away from the ‘Broadchurch’ finale, but the tension reached almost unbearable levels during Monday night’s episode.

It culminated in that - quite literal - cliffhanger. Did he jump? We have another week to find out, but we don’t have a good feeling about it.

The heartbreaking ending left Twitter both shocked and heartbroken...

We still seem no closer to uncovering whodunnit, and the theories are getting more inspired - and darker - by the week...

All suspects seem too obvious. I am convinced it is Reverent Paul. Here's why... #broadchurch #broadchurchtheory pic.twitter.com/S7DAZ4RYkL

#broadchurch theory -What's if the women attacked are all ones that Jim has cheated on Cath with? Cath already said Trish wasn't the first!

Plot twist the vicar did it, started drinking again when no one came to church after Danny plus his insomnia, he went nuts #broadchurch

#broadchurch theory - serial rapist is the man who owns the big house where the party was held...

#Broadchurch Spoiler Alert!!!! I've been saying since episode 3, the rapist is....................

The Taxi driver's puritanical wife

It's the taxi drivers son & Ellie's son filmed it, now Ellie has smashed up the evidence #shitjustgotreal #broadchurch

Could it be the chef that catered the party? Weren't all the women attacked after social events. #broadchurch #broadchurchTV

And some people are giving Miller and Hardy a run for their money in the investigation stakes...

But in between the upset and theorising there was a smattering of humour too. Lenny Henry’s character Ed Burnett featured heavily after it was discovered he’d been stalking Trish. And it didn’t go unnoticed that his voice could be heard advertising Premier Inn during one of the ad breaks…

You don't even get a laugh out of Lenny henry. Hoping he'll burst into a Trevor McDonald impersonation but alas no. #broadchurch

— Mark Westwater (@truegravity) April 3, 2017

#broadchurch ok I know Comic Relief was bad this year but there's no need to arrest Lenny Henry!

— Jikster (@Jikster2009) April 3, 2017

Watching #broadchurch and I'm fairly certain it's not Ed as he'd surely have taken her to a premier Inn.

‘Broadchurch’ continues next Monday (10 April) at 9pm on ITV.
