EastEnders revealed Lola Pearce’s secret on Friday, as Ben Mitchell dropped a bombshell about the young mum.
Lola and Ben have been hiding the fact that they only returned to fleece his dad Phil out of his money, but it soon emerged that wasn’t all.
Appearing guilty as she grew closer to ex Jay Brown again, it soon emerged that Lola was keeping something from him.
As they continued to meet up on Friday despite Ben trying to stop them, he issued her a warning and dropped big news.
EastEnders' new villain Ben Mitchell reveals Lola Pearce's bombshell news
Ben revealed that Lola was engaged and had a secret fiancé.
After Lola and Jay shared a kiss, it looked as though they might finally get back together.
But as she headed home she was confronted by Ben, who threatened to spill all about her secret fella if she didn’t leave Jay alone.
Viewers were stunned by the secret, not expecting this to be the teased bombshell.
Others shared their upset, fearing it would mean the end for any chance of Lola and Jay reuniting.
Ben clearly relished in keeping them apart, with him being the only one who knows about her secret life.
It’s not yet been confirmed who the mystery man is or whether he will arrive in Albert Square.
In fact not much is known about Lola’s life away from the Square at all, meaning there could be even more secrets coming to light.
EastEnders airs Mondays and Fridays at 8pm, and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30pm.
