Peaky Blinders has now reached the mid-way point in its sixth and final season and it came with devastating consequences for Tommy Shelby.

The episode saw plenty of twists and turns, from the return of Esme Shelby-Lee to the arrival of Stephen Graham’s Hadyen Stagg.

However, it was the ending that left fans reeling, as Cillian Murphy’s Tommy failed in his search for a cure to daughter Ruby’s curse – in reality a tubercular lung infection – and she died before he was able to say goodbye.

The shock ending had viewers quick to react, with some saying it had them in tears.

One fan called the ending “devastating” and said: “Poor Lizzie – going through that alone.”

Ending was devastating!
Poor Lizzie – going through that alone ????
But brilliant to see the magnificent Stephen Graham! Look forward to hopefully seeing more of him, Soloman and Ada.
