EastEnders bosses have agreed to meet with bereaved mothers to discuss the soap's controversial baby swap storyline.

The plot has attracted around 8,400 viewer complaints after Ronnie Branning (Samantha Womack) switched her dead son with Kat Moon's (Jessie Wallace) healthy newborn child.

Mumsnet founder Justine Roberts wrote to the BBC to request a meeting. She told The Telegraph: "The mums who attend this meeting will probably be people who have suffered bereavement. They're the ones who know how inaccurate this storyline is. Mumsnet is just the mouthpiece for mums on our site who have suffered that tragedy."

Producers are now planning to end the storyline sooner than originally intended with a "warm and tender" conclusion.
