EastEnders viewers spot MAJOR blunder in Christmas Day episode
It kicked off on EastEnders' Christmas Day episode
Last updated 9th Jan 2019
Alfie Moon and Hayley Slater's baby secret was finally exposed to the rest of the family on Christmas Day but many viewers spotted a huge error during the episode.
It all kicked off with Stacey Fowler revealing she knows the truth about the pair, shortly after Kat discovered the truth about baby Cherry's dad but things took a turn for the worse when Hayley pushed Alfie down the stairs in fury.
However it was during the episode when Hayley cut a 'strand' of baby Cherry's hair for Alfie to keep, that fans spotted the error - the baby barely has any hair on its head.
Lots of fans took to Twitter to point out the blunder, with one person writing, 'That baby is completely bald how did she cut that hair? #EastEnders'.
Another commented, 'Beautiful baby Cherry doesn’t have any hair so where exactly did the 3 inch lock of hair come from? I’m all for a bit of make believe at Christmas but that was seriously pushing it especially as it was part of the BIG REVEAL😂 #EastEnders #BabyCherryhairextensions'.
