There's a bombshell heading for Walford that will change everything...

Next week's EastEnders sees Tiffany Butcher and Keegan Baker make an unexpected announcement to their families that will leave their loved ones reeling.

The pair have been more loved-up than ever recently, with their romance going from strength to strength as they grow closer by the day, and things are about to get even more serious between the teenage lovebirds next week.

The pair have been totally honest with one another recently, with Tiffany revealing the heartbreaking news to Keegan that she was raped by one of Evie's drug gang members.

And while they have since decided to take things slowly in their relationship, the pair are looking forward to making things official.

Next week sees Tiffany open up to Keegan, telling him that she is ready to take things to the next level and the race is on to find somewhere they can be alone together.

Whether they manage to get time together or not remains to be seen... but later in the episode on Monday 14th October (8pm, 7pm, see our TV Guide for full listings) the pair are discussing their future together, with things seemingly serious between them.

As the pair make plans, their families are left intrigued when Keegan and Tiffany both send out messages that say they have got an announcement to make.

Sonia, Karen, and the rest of the Butcher/Taylor clan wonder what the young couple have got up their sleeves and EastEnders is keeping the details of what the announcement is tightly under wraps.

It was recently reported that actors Maisie Smith (Tiffany) and Zack Morris (Keegan) had been spotted filming wedding scenes on location... so could their announcement be connected to that?

Or have they got something else entirely to tell their families?

EastEnders airs Monday and Friday at 8pm and Tuesday and Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
