EastEnders viewers were left stunned last night after another racist rant by erstwhile popular character, Karen Taylor.
Karen found herself at the centre of a mix- up when she arrived at the launderette for her first day at work only to discover that new owner, Mr Papadopoulos Jr, had actually given the job to Masood instead of her.

Of course, that didn’t go down well, and, when Masood tried to defend his appointment, Karen furiously attacked him, using language and attitudes that shocked fans.
As the pair of hopefuls argued in front of their potential new employer, Karen told Masood to stop “brown-nosing” Mr Mr Papadopoulos Jr, with Masood responding: “Is that a racist slur?”
Masood went on to say he was the best candidate as it is a “very physical job”, prompting Karen to ask: “Is that a sexist slur?”
She went on to say: “You know what? Roll on Brexit!”
Masood pointed out that he was British, but Karen continued to rant, saying: “Coming over here, taking all our jobs? What, is that part of your sherry law is it? Screw thy neighbour?”
Masood had a smart put down though, telling Karen: “If anyone’s had a sherry love, it’s you.”
Karen continued, asking Masood where he was from. When he answered ‘Karachi’, Karen told him to “swan off back there” only for Masood to have the last word, saying: “Why don’t you just swan off back to your Jeremy Kyle show?”
