Monday's episode will see daughter Libby finally find out about her mum's pregnancy
DENISE Fox will be forced to reveal her pregnancy to shocked daughter Libby on Monday's episode of EastEnders.
A new trailer for the BBC soap shows the incredibly awkward moment that she finally shows her daughter the bump.
In the clip, Denise (Diane Parish) is working at the Minute Mart when Libby (Belinda Owusu) drops in to 'surprise' her.
She excitedly bounds in and says: "Ta-da! Auntie Kim called to tell me to say you were missing me."
Shocked, Denise instantly blurts out "No!", but then quickly realises what she's said: "No, I mean - er, always."
Libby continues, slightly less exuberantly than before: "I was stuck in a project but I managed to wing a couple of days off work to see you, so here I am!"
Denise just stares at her daughter in silence, who then frowns: "Everything is ok, isn't it?"
She says, half speaking to herself: "Kim should have never interfered."
Now worried, Libby asks: "What's wrong mum?"
Denise reassures her saying that it's "nothing to worry about", but steps away from behind the counter and rubs her belly.
She says: "It's just, we do have a few things to catch up on."
Libby is left staring at her stomach in shock.
Denise found out she was pregnant with Phil's baby after the pair had a drunken romp in the summer.
EastEnders’ Steve McFadden recently spoke about his thoughts on how his character Phil will cope with being a dad.
With Phil recently facing his own mortality and accepting his son Ben being gay and supporting him through the murder of boyfriend Paul, actor Steve insisted the mechanic has turned a corner and will be a good father.
“I think he’s got the potential to be good to all the children, in some ways, and occasionally he does get it right,” the actor told DigitalSpy.
Phil has son Ben, 19, with ex Kathy Beale, and Louise, 14, with ex Lisa Fowler.
“What I feel about him is that he does the wrong thing but for the right reason,” he added to .
“Behind what he does, he’s a good-hearted man, so he’ll do something terrible, but in his rationale, it makes sense.
“And so, it’s never born of maliciousness or some kind of unpleasantness. It’s often a mistake that he does something bad."
