There is growing speculation about the sex and name of Heather's EastEnders baby, following a leak online.

Heather, played by Cheryl Fergison, is currently seven months pregnant by an unknown man in the soap and is due to give birth towards the end of October.

However, there is now some confusion over the details of her unborn child.

Recently, Heather was informed at her scan that she was expecting a baby girl and she then began mulling over various girls names such as Holly, after her grandmother.

However according to Digital Spy, a script snippet from an episode at the beginning of November recently appeared on the show's official website, seemingly revealing that Heather's baby is, in fact, a boy.

Apparently she will call the baby George, after her idol George Michael.

According to Digital Spy a show source said: "There's been so much secrecy surrounding the Heather storyline, to the extent that all of the scripts have either been censored or doctored.

"The baby's father's called George in all the scripts, so there's a good chance that they could be doing this with the baby as well."

"It's certainly causing a lot of excitement but only a handful of people know the real story..."

Betting has opened on the 'Who's the Daddy?' with Heather's ex-husband Minty Peterson (Cliff Parisi) 2/1 favourite.
