EastEnders star Lacey Turner has confirmed she is pregnant with her third baby.
The actress, best known for her role as Stacey Slater in the BBC One soap,
confirmed on her Instagram earlier today that her two children
Dusty and Trilby will soon be welcoming their little brother or sister to the world. Her social media post featured Lacey, partner Matt, Dusty and Trilby on a beach holding some baby scan pictures.
Alongside the images, Lacey wrote: ‘Aren’t we lucky…’.
The heart-warming post prompted many comments from Lacey’s friends and followers. Her co-star Jacqueline Jossa, who plays Lauren Branning, said: ‘So special ! Congratulations angel all of you!! Beautiful x’ while mum, blogger, presenter and wife of Tom Fletcher, Giovanna, wrote: ‘Aaaaaw!!! Congratulations!! Xxx’.
Lacey gave birth to Dusty in 2019. The star and partner Matt Kay have been together since they were teenagers and finally decided to tie the knot back in 2017.
The couple also have a son together, who is called Trilby Fox.
The young boy was born in February 2021, which came after she openly talked about her struggle to fall pregnant in the past, suffering two miscarriages including one while she was at work.
In 2020, Lacey opened up about this ordeal in a Channel 5 documentary called Miscarriage: Our Story.
At the time, she said: ‘There’s this whole taboo about not speaking about pregnancy and keeping it a secret until you’re 12 weeks.
‘I went back to work the next day, carried on like nothing had happened, which actually makes me really sad now looking back.
‘I was probably walking around feeling so heartbroken yet nobody would have had a clue.
