Whodunnit? Scroll down to read the alibis and cast your vote in our poll!

They’ve all got good alibis – and this mystery must be solved by 26 November... Here are the chief suspects.

Steve

The Devoted Cook

Discovered the empty pudding box but he’s been busy in the kitchen preparing the feast. He’s a man of principle. Or is he? 

 

gamma

The Matriarch

She usually makes the Christmas pudding and is miffed to be relegated to cranberry sauce this year. Could this be her revenge? 

 

May

The Rebel

She says she was peeling parsnips all day. Everyone knows she lied... so what else is she hiding?

 

uncle phil

The Misfit

Only invited at the last minute, Phil brought the pudding with him. Perhaps he wanted to keep it all to himself?

samira

The Perfect Host

The ‘hostess with the mostest’ likes everything in its place. But if Uncle Phil is threatening her perfect Christmas, could this be the perfect sabotage?

 

sonny+naya

The Sticky Fingers

They love sugar and were already picking sweets from the gingerbread house. But why did Sonny call Naya a thief? Does he know something the others don’t?

 

the cat

The Con Artist

The cutest family member everyone loves has already tried to swipe food. Did he strike again?

detective

The Detective

He’s a bit of a lone wolf who’s tasked himself with cracking the case. But could he be at the centre of it?
