The actress has played Stacey Slater on the soap since 2004 and was at the center of last year’s critically acclaimed Six storyline.
Jacqueline Jossa wrote: ‘So special! Congratulations angel everyone!! Beautiful x.’
Louisa Lytton added: ‘I love you all so much,’ while James Bye, who plays Stacey’s on/off flame Martin Fowler, shared: ‘The best news… we can’t wait to meet the baby. I love you.’
Lacey and her husband Matt are teenage sweethearts, who met when she was just 15 at a friend’s house before tying the knot in 2017.
She welcomed her second child – a baby boy named Trilby Fox – with her husband Matt in February 2021.
The soap star told me OK! at the time: ‘Matt and I are so in love 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.
Lacey previously revealed she had two miscarriages before becoming pregnant with her daughter Dusty, and said it was a “miracle” to get pregnant again so quickly.
Lacey shared a few photos of herself and her husband Matt Kay holding up an ultrasound scan of their unborn baby, alongside their two children Dusty, five, and Trilby, three.
Many of Lacey’s co-stars sent their congratulations in the comments, as did friends Charley Webb and Giovanna Fletcher
Lacey admitted in 2020 that it was “heartbreaking” to lose her first babies when she was seven weeks pregnant, revealing that she had a scan “every week” during her pregnancy with Dusty.
Lacey and Matt got married in 2017 in a wild ceremony in Ibiza, where the partying went on until 5am.
In conversation with 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.’
Last year, Lacey’s character took center stage in EastEnders’ critically acclaimed The Six storyline, which featured Walford’s leading ladies – Stacey (Lacey Turner), Suki (Balvinder Sopal), Linda (Kellie Bright), Sharon (Letitia Dean) , Denise (Diane Parish) and Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) – struggle to keep the truth about Keanu Taylor’s death a secret.
Soap fans will know that Keanu (Danny Walters) was accidentally killed by Linda on Christmas Day when she jumped to Sharon’s defense, who was being attacked by the mechanic.
The ladies covered up the murder, but Keanu’s body was later found, leading to months of fear for the women as they tried to cover their tracks – ultimately framing Dean. [Matt Di Angelo] for the murder.
