However, motherhood isn’t going to keep her from celebrating the 40th anniversary of EastEnders, and she’s set to reunite with the cast amid her maternity leave in order to take part in the live episode.
EastEnders icon Lacey Turner has only just welcomed her new baby, but she’s already set to make a major return to the BBC soap, especially for the live episode.
Lacey played a huge part in the 25th anniversary live episode in 2010, when Stacey was revealed as Archie Mitchell’s killer.
Not only that, but viewers will get to choose the outcome of one storyline, as Denise Fox (Diane Parish) decides whether her heart lies with Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) or Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara).
It will close at 7:10pm on Thursday February 20, so the result can be incorporated into the live episode, which will broadcast at 7:30pm from BBC Elstree Centre that very evening.
