The actress, who plays Stacey Slater on the BBC soap, confirmed she was expecting her third child in September.

Lacey and her husband Matt are teenage sweethearts, who met when she was just 15 at a pal’s house, before tying the knot in 2017.

She welcomed her second child – a baby boy called Trilby Fox – with her husband Matt in February 2021.

The soap star told OK! at the time: ‘Matt and I are so completely besotted with our early surprise and Dusty is so in love with her new baby brother! How lucky we all are.’

The actress welcomed her daughter Dusty in July 2019, after announcing she was pregnant the previous February.

The star previously talked about suffering two miscarriages before conceiving her daughter Dusty, and said it was a ‘miracle’ to fall pregnant again so quickly.

Lacey admitted in 2020 it was ‘heartbreaking’ to lose her first babies at seven weeks pregnant, and revealed she had a scan ‘every week’ during her pregnancy with Dusty.

Lacey and Matt married in 2017 with a wild ceremony in Ibiza, with the partying continuing until 5am.

Speaking to OK! magazine at the time, she revealed: ‘The whole day was amazing. And we felt so much love. It’s incredible; it’s something you’ve never felt before.’

Over the past year, Lacey’s character has taken centre stage as part of EastEnders’ acclaimed The Six storyline, which saw Walford’s leading ladies – Stacey (Lacey Turner), Suki (Balvinder Sopal), Linda (Kellie Bright), Sharon (Letitia Dean), Denise (Diane Parish) and Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) – battle to keep the truth about Keanu Taylor’s death under wraps.

Soap fans will know that Keanu (Danny Walters) was accidentally killed by Linda on Christmas Day as she leapt to the defence of Sharon who was being attacked by the mechanic.

The ladies covered up the murder but Keanu’s body was later found, leading to months of anguish for the women as they attempted to cover their tracks – with them eventually framing Dean [Matt Di Angelo] for the murder.
