As tonight's season finale of Bodyguard got underway, millions of fans were eager to know who killed Home Secretary Julia Montague - and find out if she was actually dead
Enthusiasts of the drama have been taking to Twitter as the episode unfolds to share their reactions
Mid-way through, many fans were still holding out hope that Julia was still alive - while others said they were 'praying' David Bugg wasn't secretly behind her death
Viewers were split when David, who'd had a suicide vest forcibly strapped to his chest, was confronted by the police
He was lured into a trap set up by Montague's former PR advisor and ended up being kidnapped - waking up with a suicide vest strapped to his chest with a dead man's switch taped to his thumb
Some mocked the reaction of the officers, questioning why the lead character would beat himself up and wear the vest - even if he was 'suicidal'
Many believed it was 'unrealistic' that a man wearing an explosive device would be allowed to walk through the streets of London
Others said they'd cry if Richard Madden's character didn't make it out of the scene alive
A nail-biting scene ensued when David had to cut the wires of his vest while a bomb disposal unit coached him through it
Social media users said their heart rate was going through the roof as the scene unfolded
Others, though, said the events were 'ridiculous'. Earlier today Bodyguard fans posted their weird yet somewhat bizarre theories ahead of tonight's finale
As the much talked about drama that has gripped the nation came to a conclusion fans had a stab at their predictions for tonight, including one theory that it was all just a dream
The BBC drama that stars Keeley Hawes and Richard Madden has steadily climbed since its first episode, with the final episode due to be watched by millions, but the question remains as to who killed Home Secretary Julia Montague? The whodunnit thriller, created by Jed Mercurio, has attracted more than 11 million viewers since it took to our screens and today's finale is set to be watched by one of the largest TV audiences for a drama series for a decade
Some of the theories as to what will be revealed include some viewers suggesting officer David Budd being reminiscent to that of Edward Norton's character in Fight Club and others proposing the idea it was simply all a dream

@Alex_Goldsmith posted: 'This is just a nuance of Romeo and Juliet isn't it. She's not really dead
He (tried to) kill himself. Last name Montague.cracked it #bodyguard.' Also thrown into the theory mix was the Fight Club-esque idea that officer Budd actually has Dissociative Identity Disorder and that another version of him killed Julia Montague
@nickmward wrote: 'So here is theory - he is behind it. He is doing a 'fight club' and an unconscious side of him is participating in a plot against her
'It is why he looked in the brief case and did nothing and it is him that put blanks in his own gun
She however is not dead!'Questioning the slightly confusing theory that Julia Montague may still be lurking somewhere in the darkness, Keeley Hawes asked on Twitter: 'Is Julia Montague still alive?' Another Bodyguard enthusiast even suggested the entire drama was simply a figment of officer David Budd's imagination

Gets off. Shakes hands with Mr Glass. FIN.'One user on Twitter said 'Julia is still alive and living in that little hole in Dave's wall' while another said 'Bruce Willis was a ghost the whole time'
