TWELVE-YEAR-OLD Lily Slater is pregnant and is keeping a jaw-dropping secret.
Unfortunately for her, Martin Fowler rumbles what she’s been hiding in upcoming EastEnders scenes.
Martin recently found out his stepdaughter was pregnant
He was furious and soon worried she’d keep the baby
He makes a shocking discovery about Lily’s pregnancy
The market trader played by James Bye was furious when he was told by social services that his young stepdaughter was expecting a baby.
Martin was initially kept in the dark by Stacey Slater (portrayed by Lacey Turner) until an investigation was launched by the police and social services.
This is due to Lily’s (Lillia Turner) VERY young age as she legally cannot consent to sexual intercourse.
She’s recently been asked to reveal who her baby daddy is but she only accepted to share the information with her mother and grandmother Jean (Gillian Wright).
In scenes due to air on BBC One, Stacey and Martin are on tenterhooks as they try to help their daughter.
Lily heads out into the Square for some fresh air and is rattled by a conversation with Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) about her baby.
Conflicted, she confides in Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) who understands how she feels.
The owner of Kat’s Cabs takes her home to a worried Martin and Stacey.
Later on, Ricky Jr. (Frankie Day) checks in on Lily… and Martin works out he’s the father of her baby.
He then threatens to tell the Brannings, insisting the police have to be told that Ricky is responsible.
Tensions begin to arise, particularly between Ricky and his mother Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf).
The latter is bound to feel torn as her relationship with Ricky Butcher is slowly evolving and the pair could be heading off to Germany with Scarlett Moon.
Will she be there to support her son?
The Slaters and the Brannings come to blows in a later harsh exchange and some unforgivable words are thrown around.
Is there a new feud brewing?
Lily refused to tell social services that Ricky Jr. was the father of her baby in an attempt to keep him out of trouble.
However, viewers are still not convinced she’s telling the truth.
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
Is Lily telling the truth about the father of her baby?
She only shared the information with her mother and grandmother
