SHOCKING NEWS!! Pregnant EastEnders star Lacey Turner ‘excited’ for next life chapter

EastEnders legend Lacey Turner has shared her excitement ahead of the birth of her third child.

The actress, 36, is best known for her role as Stacey Slater in the BBC One soap.

In September, she confirmed in a Instagram post that her two children Dusty and Trilby will soon be

welcoming their little brother or sister to the world.

Alongside a picture featuring Lacey, partner Matt, Dusty and Trilby on a beach holding ultrasound pictures, she wrote: ‘Aren’t we lucky…’.

The star has been at the centre of a number of high-profile storylines this year, from Stacey’s affair with Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) to being entwined in the murder of Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters).

In the last week, we’ve seen her old best pal Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton) return with some shocking news for Martin Fowler (James Bye) – two years ago, she gave birth to his son!

‘Oh that’s ok’ she laughed, adding: ‘I’m excited for all of us really’.

She continued to The Mirror: ‘It’s like another chapter in our little story, yeah I am excited. There’s nothing better than a newborn and a newborn cuddle, so that would be lovely. Yeah, we’re really excited and we’re looking forward to it.’

She added: ‘I don’t have a highlight, really, I’ve met some amazing people and learnt some amazing things – I am a lucky person.’
