Honey confided in Kathy (Picture: BBC)

Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) has been left worried after Lexi Pearce (Isabella Brown) revealed a surprising secret to her in EastEnders.

Lexi had trusted Honey with information that she didn’t want anyone else to know, but concerned Honey wondered if she should consult one of her dads.

Uncertain, Honey approached Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) for advice over a drink in the Queen Vic.

Honey revealed that Lexi had told her that a boy had asked her out, and she wasn’t sure whether or not to tell Ben (Max Bowden).

Kathy couldn’t understand why that had got Honey so het up, and Honey was quick to point out what had happened to Lily Slater (Lillia Turner).

Viewers will know that 13-year-old Lily had just given birth to baby Charli, after having shocked everyone by falling pregnant at just 12-years-old.

With Lexi being 11, Honey was concerned that she may end up going down the same path if she started dating boys, but Kathy was quick to settle her nerves, pointing out that going out with a boy and getting pregnant are two very different things.

Despite this, Kathy warned Honey not to tell Ben, who is already struggling in the wake of Lola’s death as it is.

Honey agreed, and instead decided to test the waters with Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) the next time she sees him.

Unfortunately, it seems that Jay is doing even worse than Ben these days, having turned to ketamine to try and get through his grief.

If Honey does open up to him, how will he cope with the knowledge that Lexi is now seeing boys? And is Honey right to be worried about teenage pregnancy?
