EASTENDERS: KISS ’N HELL FOR GAY BEN
ABOVE: Fans will be left wondering whether it was first time unlucky for Ben
BEN Mitchell will bed a girl in a last-ditch attempt to convince himself he’s gay.
The confused lad romps with Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold, 18) next week.
But there’s a shock in store for the couple when just a few weeks later Lola discovers she’s pregnant.
Fans will be left wondering whether it was first time unlucky for Ben (Joshua Pascoe, 19) or if someone else could be the baby’s dad.
A show insider said: “Lola is stunned when she finds out she’s pregnant.
“But the big question is who is the father? Not only does she sleep with Ben, she jumps in the sack with another Albert Square resident.”
And one person who won’t be happy is her grandad Billy Mitchell, played by Perry Fenwick, 49.
The tearaway teen leaves her “pops” in complete shock when he realises he’s going to become a great-grandad.
But as Lola agonises over what to do, devoted Billy tells her he’s there for her no matter what happens.
And as they enjoy a long heart-to-heart he starts to realise that a baby could bring them even closer.
Fans will see him try to persuade her to keep the baby even though he has no idea who the dad is.
