EastEnders star Lacey Turner has revealed she’s had the same reaction as pretty much the rest of the country since co-star James Bye’s emotional on-screen exit as Martin Fowler.
James and his wife Victoria asked Lacey to be a godparent to their third son Hugo following his birth in 2019, along with former EastEnders co-star Davood Ghadami, who played Martin’s on-screen best friend Kush Kazemi.
James shared similar sentiments during an appearance on The One Show earlier this week, revealing he insisted he was allowed to tell Lacey after discussing his exit with his EastEnders bosses.
The beloved fruit and veg seller died in the arms of Lacey’s character Stacey Slater in in last Thursday’s live episode after being crushed by a falling beam following the Queen Vic explosion.
‘I’m still trying to get over it, Lacey said, appearing on the Off the Telly podcast her EastEnders co-star Natalie Cassidy hosts with Gavin & Stacey’s Joanna Page.
