Taking to Reddit, a fan shared a screenshot they took of the BBC soap's local paper, Walford Gazette.
On display in the background of a scene, the headline read: "Chicken Yoga Takes City By Storm".
The viewer penned: "I love finding these 'made up headlines'. No spoiler.
"I couldn't help but notice the headline on Walford Gazette probably says "Chicken Yoga Takes City By Storm."
"Seriously, Chickens do Yogas?", adding a laughing face emoji.
It's not the first time EastEnders fans have noticed funny details.
Fans highlighted a gaffe in a recent scene featuring Kathy Beale.
After spending the night with Harvey, Kathy sent him a text message saying: "Miss you already."
However, viewers spotted a major blunder when Kathy held her phone upside down.
Taking to X - formerly Twitter - one fan wrote: "at least try holding it the right way round #EastEnders".
Shock EastEnders death rocks Walford as major secret is revealed
Another replied: "Awe leave her she's old and trying to figure out how a phone works."
A third joked: "Well she could see enough to be smiling about Harvey so it did the job."
Viewers also previously spotted an editing blunder - with a character seemingly appearing out of nowhere.
Jean Slater had been looking after her great-granddaughter Charli but was determined to find out where Charli's mum, and her own granddaughter, Lily, had got to.
As she walked through the door, Jean was clearly pushing an empty pram as she could be heard leaving a voicemail to Lily.
Jean Slater's biggest EastEnders storylines
Gillian Wright has played Jean Slater on EastEnders since December 2005.
The star was only supposed to be a guest-character in a storyline with her on-screen daughter Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), who would struggle to look after her.
However she soon became a regular on Albert Square and has since been involved in some major storylines.
Jean is known among the square for having bipolar disorder and issues with her mental health. The first storyline involved Stacey getting help as she was forced to check her into a psychiatric hospital for her own safety.
After her first departure in 2010, she made a dramatic comeback where she was put in the centre of a major storyline.
She embarked on an unlikely relationship with Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd), however he tricks her to give him a large sum of money. As a result, she becomes the prime suspect of the murder of Heather Trott (Cheryl Fergison) before he scams her again to pay for his wedding to Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks).
The actress decides to leave the soap again in 2013, so bosses decided to introduce actor Tony O'Callaghan as love interest Ollie Walters. After he confesses his love for her, she then moves down to Brighton with him.
After several guest returns, she made a full-time comeback in 2018 alongside Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Mo (Laila Morse). She was later put at the centre of a major storyline when she was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer.
Having got through the door pushing the empty pram, a close-up shot then zoomed in to reveal Charli sat in the pram.
One fan raged at show bosses: " EastEnders are really getting lazy when it comes to checking their scenes before adding them into the episode cause tell me why Jean's pushing an empty f***ing pushchair then suddenly a childs in it."
Another added: "I was laughing so much when I seen this big L from the camera man."
EastEnders airs on BBC One and iPlayer.

Zoe Hague seen back home for the first time since fans mocked her for leaving Bali after 48 hours because it didn't meet her expectations
Zoe Hague has returned home as she was seen heading home from a gym session on Thursday. Molly-Mae's influencer sister was recently mocked by fans for leaving Bali after just 48 hours because it didn't live up to her expectations. Instead she and her husband Danny made a last minute decision to fly to Dubai instead after Zoe, 28, took to social media to admit 'something wasn't quite right'. And the couple have now returned from their trip with Zoe seen out and about in Cheshire in an oversized navy jumper and blue gym shorts. She completed the look with a pair of white sports trainers and balanced a pair of shades on her head. Earlier this week Zoe received backlash after she took to social media to reveal she had chosen to leave Bali early. The fitness influencer had planned the trip to Indonesia with her husband Danny to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. And despite staying in a huge sea view room at the Radisson Blu, a five-star hotel, they decided to leave early and jet to Dubai instead. Zoe explained that Bali looks better on social media than in real life, as influencers make it look luxurious, despite it being a developing country. In a new YouTube video, Zoe told the camera: 'Since landing in Bali, something for us wasn't quite right. 'We came here with high expectations because we had seen on social media that everyone was having such a lovely time. Lovely places to eat and beaches, and lovely gyms and coffee shops. 'But I don't think the reality of Bali is shown much at all, and I do think it is down to a lot of influencers posting the more luxury side of things.' She added: 'Before joining the army, I spent five months travelling South East Asia. I did Thailand, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, I did a lot and spent time in these countries. But there is something very different about Bali. 'We got told Uluwatu where we are now is one of the best places to go, so if this is one of the better places, I'm not sure where the other places are like. 'I wasn't going to sit down and say anything, but people want to know.' Danny then joined the video and said: 'You either go on holiday to travel and experience culture or you want to go away and relax.' Zoe continued: 'Yeah, and we could have got a flight tomorrow as today is our anniversary, but time is precious and we just want to get out, and why delay it. 'We missed the mark, maybe we didn't do our own research, maybe it is our own fault. I did a lot of research though. 'I think it is just personal preference, and our preference was that this isn't for us, and we are making the executive decision to go enjoy our anniversary somewhere we know that we love and can relax and can drink the water.' Fans were divided in the comment section, with many claiming they loved Bali and asking for specific reasons why she didn't like it. 'I find this really surprising seeing as you travelled this part of the world. Everywhere there is like this - the 5* resorts are social media worthy but ultimately it's a developing area of the world and lots of the people there live in poverty.'; 'That is such a shame you didn't have a good experience:( Bali is a truly magical place with incredible people! But it is a poor country and I think people forget that and expect it to be like Dubai when that isn't the reality. Hope you have a good time in Dubai.'; 'I'm interested to know what exactly you didn't like about it? You didn't really go into specifics? I travelled there last year and loved it!'; Others agreed with Zoe, adding: I'm just home from backpacking Australia, Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and I can hands down agree with the insta vs reality with Bali!! We tried to enjoy it as much as we could but it is 100% portrayed sooo differently by influencers,' 'Why is everyone hating? Bali isn't for everyone, they arrived and didn't like it? Why would they waste time & money somewhere they're not enjoying?' In 2019, Zoe's sister Molly-Mae shared with fans that she 'fell in love with Bali' as she shared a series of stunning snaps to Instagram. Zoe later shared a photo dump on Instagram, showcasing her lavish Dubai trip after leaving Bali. Fans were divided in the comment section, with many claiming they loved Bali and asking for specific reasons why she didn't like it Others agreed with Zoe: I'm just home from backpacking Australia, Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and I can hands down agree with the insta vs reality with Bali!!' The couple stayed at Atlantis The Royal, with rooms starting from around £290 per night during July, which is considered low season. In peak season, rooms can cost £1,570 a night. Zoe shared on Instagram: 'Danny surprised me with a stat at @atlantistheroyal which I couldn't believe!!!

The £5,000 retirement top-up 200,000 UK parents are missing out on
Hundreds of thousands of parents, predominantly mothers, are missing out on an average of £5,000 in state pension top-ups due to historical underpayments. The issue originates from a record-keeping error concerning Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP), a scheme active between 1978 and 2010, which was intended to automatically reduce qualifying years for state pensions for those with caring responsibilities. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) identified the problem in 2021 but has significantly reduced the funds allocated for repayments, acknowledging the challenge in rectifying the widespread issue. Despite HMRC issuing over 370,000 letters to potentially affected individuals since autumn 2023, the take-up for claims has been very low, with only a small proportion of underpayments compensated to date. The DWP has transitioned from a short-term repayment drive to an ongoing programme, meaning there is now no time limit for affected individuals to claim their owed HRP, which can be done online or by post.

Fun on the fairways as tens of thousands descend on Portrush for The Open
It was fun on the fairways in Portrush as tens of thousands flocked to the north coast to see the world's top golfers tee off on the first day of The Open. The crowds included actor James Nesbitt, US ambassador to the UK Warren Stephens, First Minister Michelle O'Neill and deputy First Minister Emma Little Pengelly. While anticipation was high to see returning hero Rory McIlroy in action, during the wait there was an opportunity to recreate his famous television clip chipping golf balls into a washing machine. McIlroy was a primary school child in 1999 when he appeared on UTV's Kelly show as a promising youngster showing off his skills with the trick. Ms Little-Pengelly, herself a keen golfer, was among those who tried the 'chipping it like Rory' challenge. Despite the watching crowd, the deputy First Minister showed no sign of pressure as she took a moment to carefully line up the perfect shot, which resulted in the ball deftly landing in the drum. Breaking into a huge smile she punched the air amid cheers. The crowds, ten deep in places, endured heavy rain showers in the early afternoon before the sun finally broke through not long before McIlroy himself appeared at the first fairway. You could have heard a pin drop as people stretched every sinew and used all possible vantage points to get a glimpse of the Holywood man taking his first shot of the tournament. Almost 280,000 fans snapped up tickets for the 153rd Open at Royal Portrush, which will be the second best attended in history. Among them on Thursday were Lilian Kennedy and Norman Kennedy from Coleraine, and her niece Tracey Bradley from Dungannon, with Karl Holmes, originally from south Wales. They said they were delighted to see some of the biggest names in golf, including McIlroy, as well as Shane Lowry, who won The Open last time it was held in Portrush in 2019. It was Mrs Kennedy's birthday, and she was enjoying the experience thanks to Ms Bradley, who gave her the ticket for The Open as a birthday gift. 'I couldn't have asked for anything better than that, a great birthday present,' she said, giving her niece a hug. Mr Holmes said they had been there all week and it had been 'fantastic'. 'It's great, the facilities are fantastic, we haven't seen much today because of the weather, but I saw Rory McIlroy right in front of me yesterday which was fantastic,' he said. 'Good old brolly,' he added, in reference to the rain. Mr Kennedy laughed and said it had been hard to see much with all the umbrellas earlier, before the sun re-emerged, but praised the good atmosphere. Gene Fleming, Bart Lewis, Brian Halloran and William Bell, friends who had been fraternity brothers at Eastern Kentucky University in the US, said they were enjoying the true European golf experience with the rain. Mr Lewis said it was his second Open, after attending the 150th at St Andrews in Scotland. 'It was awesome so we came back, and so far so good,' he said. 'Actually when we were in Scotland the weather wasn't bad at all, so I wanted to experience a British Open that had the actual weather, that's part of it. 'The weather does seem to have a bigger play in the tournament result (in the UK compared to tournaments in the US), but I do enjoy the hospitality in Europe all over, I think it's a great place, we've had a fantastic time.' Mr Fleming said they had loved the experience of playing golf in the rain on the island of Ireland themselves, before the Open tournament. 'What's so amazing is that if we had this weather in the United States, the complaining and carrying on at the golf course would be unbearable, but there is no sympathy here, the weather is the weather, we're learning about it, we played two rounds in it, enjoyed it thoroughly,' he said. 'We got great weather one day and we got the whole Irish experience the other day. 'We loved it, I'll never forget it, I'm so glad I came here. My mother's maiden name of O'Brien, so I've got some Irish in me.'
