EastEnders Whitney Carter has been spotted filming new scenes for the soap and is making sure one part of her body is kept closely covered up – her stomach!
She was seen wearing a big, padded, warm winter coat on the location shoot, which she kept wrapped around her at all times, hiding her tummy from view.
Of course, she could have just been wearing the jacket to keep warm in the cold February weather, but speculation is rife that it was kept so tightly closed that her character could be pregnant.
Fans were left heartbroken for Whitney when husband Lee left her on Valentine’s Day.

Making an excuse to duck out of their romantic dinner date at Beales, Lee went home, packed his things, and left her a note telling her he didn’t love her anymore.
Nicki Millano tweeted: “The way Lee left Whitney was absolutely heartbreaking! [sic]”.

“Poor Lee and Whitney,” added Jodie Lou.

But some viewers have been quick to predict what’s going to happen next:
“And now Whitney will get with his dad, Mick. This show is so predictable sometimes” tweeted Clency Lebrasse mu.
“Whitney will be all over Mick by Friday” added Demi Harte.

Whitney has kissed her father-in-law Mick Carter a few times, and the last snog was only weeks ago as she recovered in hospital following the dramatic bus crash.
A lonely Mick, missing wife Linda, responded to her advances momentarily, before pulling away.
But now Lee’s gone, will Whitney find herself in Mick’s arms? Will he respond?
Hang on, would that mean estranged hubby Lee might not be the father of her baby?
If Whitney is pregnant, she’s only been with Lee recently that we know of, but could comfort from Mick turn into something more and make him a potential baby daddy?
How will Linda react when she comes home and finds out her son’s left and her daughter-in-law is pregnant and doesn’t know who the father is?
The scenes Whitney has been spotted filming, alongside her on-screen best friend Lauren Branning, see her letting her hair down for a night clubbing.
It’s good to see her having some fun and moving on with her life, but will a baby be a blessing or a curse for her?
