PEAKY Blinders was back on BBC One last night for another episode that brought viewers to tears. Fans of the Birmingham crime gang drama are now expecting Tommy Shelby (portrayed by Cillian Murphy) to go on a rampage after a devastating tragedy.

This is down to the death of a fan favourite, his young daughter Ruby (Orla McDonagh). The seven-year-old was diagnosed with consumption and undergoing extensive hospital treatment - with her father roaming around Birmingham in desperation to try and find a cure.

It emerged Tommy believed Ruby had been cursed due to some of her distressing hallucinations. This led him to John's wife Esme (Aimee-Ffion Edwards), as he hoped she could have an explanation - and, maybe, a solution - for him.

BBC Peaky Blinders’ Tommy Shelby's fatal TB diagnosis' symptoms and survival rate

SPOILERS AHEAD In the final series of smash-hit BBC drama Peaky Blinders, which is set in the 1920s/30s, main character Tommy Shelby's family has been plagued by tuberculosis.The heartbroken dad lost daughter Ruby to the disease, and in the most recent episode Tommy, who is played by Cillian Murphy, was informed by his doctor that he has tuberculoma in his brain stem.This was caused by close contact with tuberculosis, and is a non-cancerous growth.The doctor informed Tommy that it is inoperable as "any attempt to remove it would result in trauma and brain haemorrhage." He continued, "the rate of physical and mental deterioration will increase," before informing the gang leader that he had 12-18 months to live. The TV show is fictional (although based loosely on a real gang with the same name as its title), but the disease that may cause Tommy's death is very much real.

Fans of BBC's Peaky Blinders have come to the conclusion that lead character Tommy Shelby will be killed off by the end of the season.With series 6 almost coming to a close with only three more episodes left, many viewers believed Tommy played by actor Cillian Murphy will not live to see by the end of it.During the latest episode, Tommy was left holding back his tears when he attended his daughter's funeral but the death of young Ruby may also lead to Tommy's demise.Jumping on Twitter, fans shared their views on the character.One person wrote: "I just know tommys going to die at the end of this season but i hope he reunites with Ruby in heaven or something."Another said: "Hate that everyone is saying Tommy is going to die this season… No," followed by a crying face emoji.A third penned: "I was calling it that Tommy would die on last season. I mean almost the entire family of this man died because of him."But as the show continued to progress, viewers realised that Tommy would most probably be on his way out relatively soon due to a brain tumour.As the doctor visited his office, he explained the realities of Tommy's situation and warned him that he will deteriorate.
