EastEnders could be lining up a new pregnancy twist for Stacey Slater on the BBC soap, amid her fling with Jack Branning.

According to fans, a baby twist is on the way after things got steamy between the not-so-secret lovers. A handful of characters know about Stacey sleeping with Denise Fox's husband at Christmas, including The Six. But what they are yet to discover is the affair has continued, with Jack and Stacey getting pretty steamy in recent scenes. It's clear they're not ready to cool things despite Jack and Denise's marriage being on the rocks.

Viewers are convinced a huge bombshell is on the way though that could tear both families apart. Jack's children Amy and Ricky are both keen for their dad and stepmother Denise to make things work amid their issues. But with things heating up between him and Stacey, fans believe Stacey will fall pregnant in a new baby twist - barely a year on from Stacey's daughter Lily having a baby with Jack's son Ricky. Taking to X, viewers theorised that a baby twist would rock the two families once more.

One viewer said: "Stacey will end up pregnant or have a pregnancy scare," as another said: "Stacey pregnant . That's the next story. You know it! Lol." A third added: "watch Stacey get pregnant next," while a fourth tweeted: "Guys what if Stacey gets pregnant Jack?"

It comes as Denise continues to fall apart, as she, Stacey and the other members of The Six continue to conceal the Christmas Day murder of Keanu Taylor. Their involvement in his demise and the burying of his body under the café floor has left them all struggling.

Denise has sparked serious concern for her mental health as she continues to act out and is having nightmares, while her loved ones do not realise she is also experiencing hallucinations of Keanu. Viewers are fearing an exit could be on the way for the character as she continues to fall apart - having already been threatened by the other women, and told that unless she sorts herself out she could find herself framed.
