EastEnders: Lola and Lexi hosted a fundraiser

Last night, Lola and Lexi hosted a Bows and Whistles fundraiser at Peggy’s. They hoped to raise money for charities supporting those with brain tumours.

Before the fundraiser got underway, Lexi told Ben to cough up whilst shoving a bucket in his face.

She then revealed that she had put all of her pocket money towards finding a cure for her mum.

Lola was shocked by this revelation and realised that Lexi still thought that she would get better.

With this, she decided to tell her family that she only has six months left to live.

Ben warned Lola about telling Lexi her prognosis but Lola said that they couldn’t keep sugar-coating things anymore.

Lexi was heartbroken after hearing this but decided to carry on with the fundraiser as it was her and her mum’s special day.
