Martin (portrayed by James Bye) was fuming when he found out his stepdaughter Lily was pregnant at the age of twelve.

Due to her young age, social services and the police became involved and opened an investigation to prove Lily wasn't being abused at home.

Hell has broken loose for the Slaters and Martin has another bad surprise for them next week.

In scenes due to air on BBC One, he's offered a few weeks' well-paid work in Turkey.

What will Martin decide?

Will he really leave Albert Square temporarily?

Lily kept the identity of her baby's father a secret until she was cornered by her mother Stacey and grandmother Jean.

She eventually confessed Ricky Jr. was the father of her unborn child but made both women promise to keep her secret.

Off-screen, viewers have been suspicious and believe Lily is lying about Ricky.
