EASTENDERS fans were left very distracted as Kat Slater found the knifeTommy used to stab bully Sid with.

The taxi firm owner – played by Jessie Wallace on the BBC One soap – had been at her wits end with Tommy's bad behaviour for weeks, unaware that he was being bullied at school.

Despite being horrified, she calmly confronted her son, who confessed what happened.

Earlier in the episode, Tommy took the bladed object out of his school bag but quickly shoved it back in the rucksack moments before his mum entered the living room.

BBC One viewers were baffled that one both occasions the knife had no traces of blood.

One wrote: "Where's the blood on the knife? #EastEnders."

Lily had lied to police and gave Tommy an alibi, but Stacey was convinced that her daughter wasn't telling the truth and informed Kat.

Fearing the worst but determined to do the right thing, Kat handed her son over to Jack.

Jack turned up at the Slater's and told the youngster that he needs to go to the police station to answer some questions.

Tommy looked petrified but his mum reassured him that she will be there every step of the way.

BBC viewers were gobsmacked that Kat had shopped Tommy to the police.

One wrote: "OMG can't believe Kat actually called the Police on her own Son seriously? Poor Tommy. What about that other kid that was recording the whole thing? Probably won't come for as it shows Tommy was just defending himself."

Another posted: "That must have been so hard for Kat to do."

A third said: "Kat has done the right thing she has done it too protect Tommy. I just hope the police go easy on Tommy. He's already been through so much #EastEnders"

Over the past few weeks Tommy has been struggling to face his bullies.

Taking matters into his own hands, he irresponsibly puts a knife in his bag to protect himself, but this leaves Lily horrified, insisting that it could put him in more danger.

In recent instalments, the youngster asked for Phil Mitchell's (Steve McFadden) help, which led to the tough man to find Tina Carter's remains in the Argee Bhajee – before being arrested.

With Phil behind bars, Tommy knew he wouldn't be able to count on him to face the bullies but has refused to ask for any more help despite his mother Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) asking to know if the bullying has stopped.
