EastEnders star Lacey Turner revealed a surprising hobby earlier this year – and it’s worlds away from something Stacey Slater would do!
The actress, 36, has appeared in the BBC One soap for twenty years, and is currently embroiled in a huge storyline that has seen her cover up the murder of Keanu Taylor (Danny Walter).
The events on Christmas Day saw six Walford ladies unite over their distaste for the way men have treated them over the years, and when Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) arrived trying to attack wife Suki (Balvinder Sopal), Denise Fox (Diane Parish) hit him over the head with a champagne bottle.
Nish survived, but Keanu wasn’t as lucky when he attempted to throttle Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) and Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) was forced to stab him with a meat thermometer.
The Six women then bundled his body into some tarpaulin before burying it under the floor of the café. When it was eventually discovered, Stacey pinned the blame on evil rapist Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) and he was sent down.
After dramatic trial scenes this week, Sharon was sent down for contempt of court – and is about to come face to face with her dad’s killer Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman) – whilst Linda confessed everything to Keanu’s sister Bernie (Clair Norris).
As the severity of her words crept in, each of the women returned home to spend time with their family for potentially the final time.
However, what they didn’t realise was that Bernie declined to tell her mum Karen (Lorraine Stanley) everything, and could well keep it quiet.
Away from the East End dramas, Lacey’s talents seem to be in gardening – the allotment would’ve been a much better place!
Telling her 534,000 followers about her green-fingered skills, Lacey said: ‘Just want to show you what’s in my green house, because I feel like I haven’t shown you since I planted all the seeds – and it’s bloody wild in here.’
She continued: ‘I’ve got broccoli, it needs to go in the ground really but I’m just waiting on my beds.
‘Look at those strawberries! Strawbs. Look at my cosmos, these are all seeds that the kids bought me for Mother’s Day, they’re in that little hessian bag.’
She then went on to exclaim that she ‘can’t bloody believe it!’ as she reeled off a number of plants, and an impressive corn.
The petition starts here for Stacey to start growing her own veg to serve up in her delicious baps.
