EastEnders' Lauren Branning looks up abortion clinics
Lauren (played by Jacqueline Jossa) was seen getting frustrated and upset during tonight's episode of the BBC soap when her secret morning sickness caused her dashing boss Josh (Eddie Eyre) to send her home before a big presentation she was supposed to be helping with.
As the pregnancy already started to take its toll on her career, Lauren snapped, taking out her phone to search for nearby family planning clinics.
Although EastEnders fans were shocked and dismayed at her apparent decision to terminate the pregnancy, they spotted a massive blunder in the details of the scene.
Lauren Branning searched for abortion clinics on her phone
The search results showed clinics in Walford despite the fact that Lauren was in the city
When Lauren typed "abortion clinics" into the search engine, the first results that came up appeared to be in Walford, despite the fact that Lauren was at the swanky office in the city, not in the suburbs.
Usually search engines show results by order of proximity to the location of the person's device.
One eagle-eyed fan took to Twitter after spotting the gaffe, saying: "How far is Canary Wharf to Albert Square? Given that the nearest family planning clinic is in Walford…"

Meanwhile other EastEnders fans thought they had spotted how Steven will find out
They flocked to social media with the theory that Steven will track Lauren to the clinic
Meanwhile, many other viewers flocked to social media after they believed they deduced how Lauren's boyfriend Steven Beale (Aaron Sidwell) would find out about the abortion.
Steven has been tracking Lauren's whereabouts via a locator app on her phone, and fans think he might see her heading to the clinic.
"Steven is gonna find out when Lauren goes to the abortion clinic because of the tracker," one person tweeted, while another panicked: "Wait if Lauren goes for the abortion then Steven will know cos of the tracker on her phone! Will he then turn worse??"
EastEnders continues tomorrow at 7.30pm on BBC One.
