ZACK Hudson gets the shock of his life as he finds out he’s going to be a dad – but will he stick around?
The Walford player receives life-changing news in Wednesday’s episode on the BBC soap – but not from the mother of his child.
Jean Slater accidentally told Zack he’s going to be a father after he congratulated him.
Zack mistakenly thought she congratulated him for starting a new job as a chef at Walford East.
Until Jean said: “I’m so pleased for you. For you and Whitney. You’ll make wonderful parents,” leaving Zack stunned.
Zack struggled to focus on work at Walford East with Whitney on his mind.

He worries he wont be a good dad like his dad was as he tells Ravi his dad “messed me up.”
Ravi reassured him that he also wasn’t ready to be a dad when he had his son Nugget.
And Whitney is just probably nervous to tell him.
Later, Zack goes round to Whitney’s – but it all ends in tears when Zack accuses Whitney of getting pregnant on purpose.
An angry Whitney tells Zack he is too immature and hasn’t seen him to commit to anything.
She tells him: “I can do this without you. I don’t actually need you. We don’t need you.”
A hasty Zack packs his stuff and leaves the square.
Will he return?
Will Whitney finally get her happily ever after?
Fans are hoping Whitney and Zack can make it work.
Taking to Twitter, one said: “Zack’s not actually gone for good though right? He’ll obviously be back once he’s got his head round it all?”
Another wrote: “Stop running away from ur responsibilities zack and be with Whitney – it’s not the answer.”
A third penned: “I just wanna give whitney a hug. they should be together.”
