And they were apparently told that “Jake” had a bit of a tough time in store for him as he would be struggling with the knowledge that his daughter Amy had been self-harming.
But it was immediately clear that a mishap had taken place as fans had no idea who Jake was.

Her father is actually Jack Branning (who is played by actor Scott Maslen) and the self-harm storyline has been gripping viewers.
As soon as it happened, fans flocked to Twitter to point out the funny gaffe and ask who the announcer had been referring to.
“Who is Jake?” tweeted one puzzled fan of the soap.
Another asked: “Did the BBC announcer really call Jack Jake before the start of EastEnders, cos I don’t know of a Jake in EastEnders lmfao.”
