Out of all the thousands of people carrying the Olympic torch on its relay through the country, one of the most highly-anticipated, and prone to potential disaster, went off without a hitch last night.

EastEnders stalwart Billy Mitchell ran with the torch through Albert Square - in a special live version of the soap - as Lola gave birth on the kitchen floor.

And he still managed to get to the side of his grand-daughter Lola, in time to support her giving birth. So, all in all, it was a big day for Billy, and the Olympic Torch was safely despatched onwards to its next, real-life, destination of Kingston-upon-Thames.
