It all becomes too much for Lily Slater next week on EastEnders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After learning from her mother Stacey Slater<\/a> (Lacey Turner) that she is pregnant at 12 years old<\/a>, Lily (Lillia Turner) can\u2019t keep her secret hidden for long and Stacey takes it upon herself to tell the family before the investigators do.<\/p>\n

However, she can\u2019t find her ex-husband Martin Fowler (James Bye) in time and when he returns home to Sharon\u2019s house he is horrified to be told by the police that his adoptive daughter is pregnant.<\/p>\n

The Slaters are completely shell-shocked by the news, while Martin\u2019s furious at Stacey.<\/p>

When Martin angrily heads over to Stacey to give her a piece of his mind, neither notice as an ashamed Lily slips out \u2013 and it isn\u2019t long before the whole family have to start looking for the troubled child.<\/p>\n

Thankfully they find her, but their woes aren\u2019t over when the police arrive to talk to Stacey about the identity of who fathered the pregnancy after she promised Lily not to break her confidence.<\/p>\n

The police had interviewed Lily\u2019s male housemates Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) and Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier), the young Slater lets slip that Stacey already knows the identity of the baby\u2019s father \u2013 who viewers know to be Ricky Mitchell<\/a> (Frankie Day).<\/p>\n
