EastEnders fans are convinced that they’ve worked out the identity of the father of Lily Slater’s (Lillia Turner) baby.
A huge shock during the soap’s New Year’s Day outing saw Stacey (Lacey Turner) discover that her 12-year-old daughter was pregnant after she ended up in hospital due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Lily was subsequently questioned by the police about how she got pregnant, disclosing details to a detective, as a heartbroken Stacey listened from outside the interview room.
But despite Stacey and Jean (Gillian Wright) quizzing her, Lily has yet to reveal who the father of the baby is.
Fans, however, reckon that Ricky Jr (Frankie Day) is the father.
‘I think Ricky is the father of lily’s baby,’ said one viewer on social media.
‘Ricky junior is the father — remember all the hints we spotted?,’ another wrote on Twitter.
‘Ricky was sneaking off a lot, texting someone and the throwaway line of ricky asking lily if she was okay.’

One user recalled very specific details from an episode which aired last year.
‘Ricky stuck up for lily during a argument with Amy,’ they wrote, recounting the points of interest from the outing of the serial drama, which was transmitted on November 14.
‘Hidden a text on his phone. Left Amy’s bday party to see a (mate). Next morning said he’ll be home late. Next morning Lily smiling at her phone hiding it away from Stacey.’
Discussing the storyline, actress Lacey Turner told us: ‘Stacey is treading on eggshells. She needs to find out from Lily how this happened, who the father is, and all the details.
‘But to do that, she needs to build trust with Lily, and if her daughter wants it to be a secret, then Stacey will keep it secret.’
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.
