BABY BLUNDER EastEnders fans spot hilarious baby blunder with Nicola Mitchell – did you notice it?

EASTENDERS fans have spotted a hilarious baby blunder with Nicola Mitchell’s newborn – did you notice it?

On Monday night’s episode, Nicola (Laura Doddington) brought home baby Ivy after she was born prematurely and had to stay in hospital.

Their loves ones gathered for a welcome home party as the tot adjusted to her brand new environment.

However, while watching the episode, eagle-eyed fans noticed that there was a huge blunder on-screen.

One TikTok user shared a snap of Nicola holding Ivy in her arms towards the beginning of the episode, with Ivy’s head being full of thick, jet black hair.

They then posted another screengrab from later on in the ep and the baby now barely has any hair and is practically bald.

The social media user wrote over it: “What’s going on EastEnders? Got a full head of hair one minute, the next the babies almost bald?”

Viewers flocked to the comments section to have their say as one suggested: “They gotta use different babies for the same scenes since they film literally all day and a baby won’t be settled for that long.”

Another person asked: “Also, why was the first baby so huge when it’s meant to be premature?”

Somebody else commented: “They could have at least used a more similar looking baby.”

Yet another penned: “I can understand why babies can’t be on set all day, but most TV shows hire twin babies – so at least when they swap the babies, they still look the same.”

While a fifth added: “EastEnders, come on you can do better than this. The whole thing with the babies was ridiculous.”

Nicola and George Knight (Colin Salmon) welcomed Ivy prematurely last month in devastating scenes as the new mum was unable to see her daughter because she had a virus.

Ahead of the storyline airing, the BBC One soap sought advice from baby charity Bliss.

Executive Producer, Ben Wadey, said: “This storyline follows Nicola and George as they navigate the challenges and shared concerns of neonatal care with their premature baby, and the impact it has on them and their families.”

Annelies Hopkins, Information and Support Manager at Bliss added: “As the UK’s leading charity representing babies born premature or sick, and their families, we were grateful to be consulted on this important EastEnders storyline, which shines a light on the unexpected, distressing and often traumatic experience of having a baby in neonatal care.”
