BBC EastEnders Eve Unwin star's life off-screen from wife and children to secret talent

EastEnders' Heather Peace has rapidly won over viewers since her debut in October 2021, playing the role of former inmate Eve Unwin. The storyline unveiled that Eve and Stacey Slater (portrayed by Lacey Turner) had a hasty prison wedding to secure their probation release while both were behind bars. Since then, they've resettled in Walford and maintained a tight-knit friendship, although drama is never far off.
Eve's romantic entanglements have been anything but straightforward, as she's developed feelings for Suki Panesar ( Balvinder Sopal ), despite Suki being wedded to the nefarious Nish (Navin Chowdhry). A murder plot hatched by a jealous Nish almost claimed Eve's life, but she managed to evade this fate.
After overcoming numerous hurdles, she's now on track to tie the knot with Suki. However, when the cameras stop rolling, Heather's real life is a world away from the tumultuous existence of her on-screen persona, reports the Manchester Evening News. Bradford-born Heather, 49, honed her acting skills at Manchester Metropolitan University. She made her television debut in 1997, featuring in an episode of The Bill as Josie Clarke and later gracing Emmerdale as Anne Cullen.
Her big break arrived in 1998 when she landed the role of Sally Fields in the hit ITV drama London's Burning, which delves into the lives of firefighters from the fictional Blackwall fire station. Heather remained on the show until its final episode in August 2002, before moving on to take up smaller roles in other TV series such as Casualty, Down to Earth and Where the Heart Is.
