However Sharon, 49, is desperate to cover up her affair and has passed the baby off as husband Phil’s.

Word quickly spread of her impending arrival, with best pal Linda racing round to Sharon’s house to congratulate her.

But Sharon played dumb, insisting Phil had just bought her a spa day treat.

Trying to catch her out, Linda then suggested they should go and toast the launch of Kathy Beale’s new gay bar, The Prince Albert.

She said: “Since when does Sharon Mitchell turn down the chance to get drunk on prosecco and show off her dance moves?”

But refusing to confide in her friend, Sharon replied: “I’ll let you know OK?”

Viewers were left shocked by Linda’s antics, with one writing on Twitter: “Get drunk? She is pregnant Linda!”

Another shared a gif of Honey Mitchell drinking a glass of wine while pulling a face, and wrote: “Linda trying to get sharon to tell her she’s pregnant by suggesting they all have a ladies night at the spa or vic and get drunk. Sharon:”

While Sharon didn’t end up joining Linda, she did have a heart to heart with Phil about ‘their’ baby, and whether they were too old to give it a good life.

Meanwhile Phil’s daughter Louise – who is also pregnant by Keanu, who is now her boyfriend – shocked the mechanic with the bombshell that his former secret lover was pregnant too.
