EASTENDERS’ Freddie Slater has made a horrifying discovery after meeting up with his biological father.
The chippy assistant - who is played by actor Bobby Brazier in the BBC soap - has become determined to find his dad after his entire life being told nothing about him.
He has no idea that he was conceived when his mother Little Mo was raped by Graham Foster.
But in tonight’s episode he found out after secretly tracking Graham down and introducing himself.
After meeting up with Graham and discovering he has sisters, Freddie made plans to have dinner with the family.

But in the meantime Kat had discovered what was going on and was losing her mind with worry.
She, Alfie and Billy all tried to find Freddie - before sitting him down and telling him the truth about his vile dad.
“Your mum worked in the Vic,” Kat said gently.
“It was kicking out time and the way she tells it there was this song playing on the juke box.
“She tried everything she could to not hurt you.
"She just wanted to shut the pub. She told him no Freddie. He kissed her and she pushed him away. He kissed her again and she fought as hard as she could."
Alfie took over to tell him: “Graham, your dad, he raped her.”
Kat added: “And then nine months later you was born.”
Freddie looked absolutely devastated by the news and EastEnders viewers had the same thoughts.
One wrote: "I’m so glad Billy,Kat & Alfie together told Freddie the real truth. Poor Freddie #Eastenders."
