Lily, aged 12, learned she was pregnant in a shocking discovery earlier this month, and now the police and a social worker are investigating her pregnancy.

In upcoming scenes the truth is revealed to the police, after Ricky Jr, aged 12, learned he is the father - as did his family.

Despite initially planning to have an abortion, Lily has now shocked her family by deciding to keep her baby.

Next week, spoilers reveal that Ricky decides to support Lily and tells her he will help her bring up their child.

But all hell breaks loose when Ricky's dad Jack Branning finds out and confronts him, leading to the youngster fleeing home.

Jack demands a meeting with Stacey and Martin, Lily's parents, desperate to make Lily change her mind about having the baby.

As Jack tells Stacey to "talk sense" into Lily, Stacey refuses and says an abortion is off the table as it isn't what Lily wants.
