The Beale family’s loudmouth is about to discover that she is pregnant, with all fingers pointing at newcomer Leon as the daddy. The 17-year-old, played by Melissa Suffield, is set to learn the news in the middle of her stepmum’s plight to adopt or foster a baby, causing shockwaves throughout the family and no doubt, plenty of shouting matches between Lucy and her control freak dad, Ian Beale.

“Lucy falls pregnant just at a time when Jane’s desperate for a child of her own. Emotions are set to run high for all the Beale family over the next few months and there will be many twists and turns ahead,” an EastEnders insider told Digital Spy.

Lucy’s pregnancy is the latest baby plot for the soap, which has included pregnancy shock for Stacey Slater, plus Heather Trott’s ‘who’s the daddy?’ saga as well as miscarriage sadness for Ronnie Mitchell.
