EastEnders is heading for heartbreak next week as Lola Pearce’s wedding approaches amid her terminal cancer diagnosis.
The fun-loving hairdresser (Danielle Harold) previously gathered her friends and family for a meal to tell them she and groom Jay Brown ( Jamie Borthwick ) had decided to bump up their wedding so it was only a fortnight away.
However, as the blushing bride is set to be walking down the aisle very soon, her brain tumour diagnosis could throw the plans into doubt.
Lola was diagnosed with the tumour late last year and was later told that her illness is terminal, after actress Danielle announced she would be exiting the soap in upcoming scenes.
Now, as the big day approaches for the loved up couple to tie the knot, BBC spoilers have revealed that Lola is left stressed over her hen do.
