EastEnders character Lola Pearce will give birth in next Monday's (July 23) live Olympics episode.
Danielle Harold will become only the second actress to act out a birth live on a soap opera.
A Walford insider told The Mirror: "Everyone thinks the live show is all about Billy with the torch, but arguably Lola will steal the show when she gives birth in the live segment.
"No-one has tried anything like this on EastEnders live before so it is a real challenge to get the emotion of the situation right. It will be the toughest thing Danielle has done in her acting career."
Her on-screen granddad Perry Fenwick will run live with the famous Olympics torch as Billy Mitchell in the special instalment.
After his iconic Olympics moment, Billy will rush to Lola's side as he learns she has gone into labour.
