Kerry announced: "I should have said something sooner... I'm your mum."

However, fans spotted the intense scene mirrors Kat and Zoe's infamous reveal in EastEnders.

"I wonder if they were always going to do this storyline or decided that a few weeks before it was revealed."

But some viewers disagree and argue: "No as Kerry & Chloe were not brought up as sisters and I presume (as we are yet to hear the full story) that the circumstances of Chloe’s conception was not familial incest and abuse."

Another added: "No not at all, Kat was raped and Zoe was brought up as her Sister."

Some fans of the ITV soap think Kerry may have made up the story of being her real mother to keep her in the village.
