EastEnders fans are convinced 12-year-old Lily Slater (Lilia Turner) is lying about the identity of her baby’s father.
The pregnant youngster finally confessed who the baby’s dad is to her worried mum Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and grandmother Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) in recent scenes.
She told her family members that she had slept with Ricky Junior, the 12-year-old son of Sam Mitchell and Jack Branning.

However, viewers suspect that there will be more twist and turns and that Lily maybe just throwing Stacey and Jean off the scent.
While some think the baby daddy could be someone else, others predict a more sinister storyline.

Taking to social media to discuss Lily’s reaction to being pregnant, one fan penned: “It looks like Lily was drugged. The way she reacted.”
Another person online agreed: “I think so too.”
A third person said: “My thoughts exactly.”
After learning from her mother that she was pregnant after an ultrasound, Lily refused to reveal the identity of the father.

The secret caused a worried Stacey to fear that her little girl had been groomed by an adult.
Stacey even approached Lily’s estranged best friend Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) for any information, with the youngster revealing how Lily had become somewhat of a loner at school and was not interacting with many people.
Finally opening up to her worried family, Lily then remarked: “He’s not my boyfriend. We only did it once.”

The youngster then went on to confirm that the father is indeed Ricky Junior, with Lily nodding her head and saying “yeah” when Stacey asked: “So it is Ricky then?”
Lily then urged Jean and Stacey not to tell him, warning them: “He can never know!”
Taking to Twitter, viewers shared their thoughts, with one commenting: “Absolutely don’t believe Lily.”
