This week, fans saw Jean Slater pushing a pram as she returned home.

She had been looking after her great-granddaughter Charli Slater but was determined to find out where Charli's mum, and her own granddaughter, Lily, had got to.

As she walked through the door, Jean was clearly pushing an empty pram as she could be heard leaving a voicemail to Lily.

Having got through the door pushing the empty pram, a close-up shot then zoomed in to reveal Charli sat in the pram.

It left soap fans baffled as they questioned how no one had spotted the obvious editing blunder.

One fan raged at show bosses: "EastEnders are really getting lazy when it comes to checking their scenes before adding them into the episode cause tell me why Jean’s pushing an empty f***ing pushchair then suddenly a childs in it."

Another added: "I noticed this too."

As a third penned: "I was laughing so much when I seen this big L from the camera man."

Before a fourth quipped: "That’s funny as f***."

The family have faced turmoil in recent weeks following the death of Lily's step-father, Martin Fowler.
