In a heart-breaking scene from Monday's episode, Lexi asked if she can do a speech at the mum's funeral.

Ben was adamant that it wasn't a good idea which made Lexi storm off upset.

However, fans couldn't help pointing out a blunder from the Father's Day card Lexi made.

One fan compared the drawing of Callum to another EastEnders beloved character and legend that is Dot Cotton (June Brown).

They wrote: "I’ve just been told that the two on the right are meant to be Ben and Callum.

"Callum looks more like bloody Dot Cotton."

Another fan agreed: "He actually does, I can’t unsee that now."

Later, Ben gives in and tells his struggling daughter that he will let her speak about her mum at the funeral if that's what she wants. 

Lola's funeral is set to air next week as the residents of Walford say their goodbyes.

Lexi's new storyline will see her battle with an eating disorder after struggling to cope after her mother's heart-breaking death.

Members of her family are doing everything they can to support her and help her process Lola's demise - but her father Ben is unable to give her what she needs as he fights his own private battles.

EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday from 7:30pm on BBC One.
