EastEnders fans fumed at Lily Slater as Stacey had her cam secret exposed to her daughter tonight.
Stacey has had to resort to more unusual methods to find money amid the cost of living crisis, and recently signed up for a website which allows her to sell footage of herself online for paying customers. As a result, she has been earning some extra cash, which has helped to keep the family afloat – all whilst lying about where the money really is coming from.
On tonight's episode of the BBC One soap, Stacey's secret was finally revealed – as word spread in the school about her use of the site when some of Lily's classmates found the profile Stacey had set up and shared it with one another.
As the rest of the Slaters celebrated Stacey’s appointment to the Parents' Committee, it was soon cut short by Lily’s arrival.
In front of Eve, Martin, Bobby, Rocky and Jean, Lily burst into the house holding the phone which Amy had showed her Stacey's secret account on. Confronting her, the teenager furiously asked if she was proud of herself.
Confused, Stacey asked what was going on, before Lily launched an angry tirade at her mum after a tough few weeks herself: "What happened? You happened! Flashing your bits all over the internet. You’re actually disgusting!"
She held the phone up to Stacey with a picture from her account on display, as Stacey looked visibly mortified that her daughter had found out, and that other kids in the school had known what was going on too.
Fans rushed to social media to comment on the scenes, as one wrote: "lily really shouldn’t have embarrassed stacey like that cos to be honest, part of the reason why stacey is struggling so much is cos lily wanted to be dumb and keep her baby."
A second penned: "She's doing it for you Lil because you had unprotected sex at 12 years old and want to have the baby. Maybe you should learn to think before you act? #EastEnders," as a third shared: "This is when you can tell Lily is still a child not realising what Stacey is doing is for her extra money for her baby #eastenders."
Stacey decided to sign up to Secret Cam in a bid to earn some more money after Freddie revealed he had been selling feet pictures for cash on the app as he wasn't earning enough from his job. She also inadvertently discussed it with Linda, who had fond memories of her glamour model days. When Stacey asked how Linda felt about it all, she said she felt that she was detached from it.
That gave Stacey an idea and she decided to carry on with the posting on Secret Cam.
