Series 5, Episode 2 - Book Clubbin'
Edina is struggling to come to terms with the news of Saffy's pregnancy, and Patsy's only offer is the address of an abortion clinic. They throw themselves into a new celebrity book club, but the arrival of the father-to-be brings Eddy some much needed joy.
Further details
Horrified at the news that Saffron is pregnant and that she will be a grandmother, Edina and Patsy turn their focus to Eddy's new celebrity book club as the baby's father, John, arrives.
When he does, Edina realises what a boon the baby will be: the father is black, which means that she will have the best accessory any celebrity can have - a mixed race baby!
