EastEnders spoiler for today May 22, 2023: Stacey Slater’s horrified as secret sex work is exposed

DESPERATE for spare cash, Stacey Slater recently accepted an offer on Secret Cam.

But she’s thrown tonight in EastEnders when it all backfires on her and her daughter Lily.

The bap van owner portrayed by Lacey Turner was recently made aware that her twelve-year-old was being bullied in school.

Tonight on BBC One, Stacey takes action, particularly as Lily is pregnant with her first child and needs all the support she can get.

Stacey takes Lily (played by Lillia Turner) to school to speak to the headmaster about the bullying.

Unfortunately, Stacey is mortified when she finds out the students all have access to her secret cam page.

What will she do and how will this impact Lily?

Regular viewers of the London-based program will remember that Stacey turned to cam work when her financial worries spiralled out of control.

Short on cash and determined to support Lily throughout her pregnancy whilst also providing for their family, Stacey most recently accepted an offer from a Secret Cam client.

The client suggested paying Stacey if she could show her face to the camera and she struggled to reach a decision during last week’s trips to Walford.

Eventually, her former husband Martin Fowler (James Bye) gave her the boost she needed and Stacey went ahead with the offer.

So far, Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) is the only Albert Square resident to know what Stacey is up to but the rest of the Slater clan has no clue she’s resorted to sex work.

Spoilers for this week have confirmed Stacey’s family, and more particularly her mother Jean (Gillian Wright), will be shocked to find out she has been dabbling in cam work to make ends meet.

Could the stigma around sex work convince Stacey to make money in other ways?

How will she handle being exposed?

How will Lily react to Stacey’s cam work?

EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
