EastEnders has confirmed that Lauren Branning and Peter Beale will make an alarming discovery later this month and are set to face an uncertain future.

In today’s episode, Lauren gave birth to a baby boy after Cindy was tasked with helping her through labour, and she and Peter named their new arrival Jimmy.

The Square will come together to celebrate the new addition to Lauren and Peter’s family next week, but the party will be gate-crashed by Cindy, who exposes Kathy and Harvey’s affair.

But new spoilers released by the BBC have revealed that later this month, Lauren calls on Linda for support and is then forced to "act on instinct".
