The teenager is expecting Ricky Junior’s baby after learning she was pregnant on New Year’s Day.
She went back and forth over whether or not to keep the baby, before she eventually decided that she would.
In the wake of her aunt Whitney’s loss, Lily’s mum Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) had to reassure her that the situation with her own pregnancy would be fine, as Whitney’s baby had a very rare condition.
She promised that Lily and her baby would be fine, and that Lily should go and get ready for school.
