She was devastated by that news – and even more so when it became clear her daughter didn’t count as a baby because she died under 20 weeks along into the pregnancy.
Zack Hudson had been struggling with the loss too – and desperately tried to help Whitney but she has been consumed with grief.
She even left him to collect Peach’s ashes himself.
Tonight Zack decided to plant a peach tree at the allotment to remember Peach and scatter her ashes there.
At first Whitney refused to go, lashing out at Zack for suggesting it.
But after a few kind words from Chelsea, Whitney realised she needed to say goodbye to her daughter.
“I never got to hold my baby girl when she was alive and so I thought that meant I weren’t qualified to be a mum,” she told her friends and family.
“I know that I’m wrong because in my heart I am a mum. And not just to Peach, to little Jordan and Lily and all the other kids in my life.
“ I’m really grateful for all of you who’ve been there for me. Maybe one day I’ll have a little brother or sister for Peach and I know you’ll all be there.”
Viewers are in tears at the emotional scenes.
One wrote: “My emotions have been pulled in all directions in tonight’s #EastEnders.”
A second said: “Oh this heartbreaking.”
Another added: “Brilliant performance from Shona tonight, be very proud you’ve played this part so well.”
