EastEnders spoilers: Peter discovers the truth about Lauren's painkiller addiction?

EastEnders spoilers, Lauren Branning, Peter Beale.

Lauren Branning (played by Jacqueline Jossa) is determined to beat her painkiller addiction on EastEnders (7:30pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

Especially now that she is pregnant.

Lauren is struggling with her withdrawal symptoms but refuses when Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) offers to get her some more pills.

Cindy previously agreed to help Lauren with her addiction in exchange for Lauren's silence over the unfortunate exchange between Cindy and Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho).

Which landed Kojo in hospital after he discovered the truth about Cindy's affair with his businessman nephew, Junior Knight (Micah Balfour).

But as Lauren's withdrawal symptoms worsen, her oblivious boyfriend, Peter Beale (Thomas Law), insists on rushing her to hospital.

Peter fears there could be something wrong with their unborn baby...

It doesn't take Cindy long to discover that Lauren has still been using while pregnant.

The women have a heated showdown and Cindy gives Lauren an ultimatum:

Either Lauren tells Peter about her painkiller addiction... or Cindy will!

However, Martin's stepdaughter, Lily Slater (Lilliah Turner), is not happy about his BIG news.

Lily is terrified that something will go wrong with the surgery, putting Martin's life in jeopardy...
