EastEnders star Lacey Turner has confirmed the arrival of her third baby.

The actress, best known for her role as Stacey Slater in the soap, shared two beautiful pictures on her Instagram earlier today, announcing her little family had gotten bigger.

One picture on Lacey’s post sees the baby laying in between her daughter Dusty and son Trilby.

The other is of the trio, Stacey, and partner Matt either side of them.

Lacey received many kind messages from her EastEnders co-stars in the comments section, with Karen Taylor actress Lorraine Stanley saying: ‘Congratulations to you all !!! what beautiful photos,big love and hugs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️xxx’.

Gurlaine Kaur Garcha, who played Suki’s (Balvinder Sopal) daughter Ash Panesar wrote: ‘Ahhhh congratulations!!! what a beautiful little family xxx.’

Lacey gave birth to Dusty in 2019. The star and Matt Kay have been together since they were teenagers and finally decided to tie the knot back in 2017.

Little Trilby Fox 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.

‘You don’t understand it, you feel completely alone. There isn’t anyone who can help you, there isn’t anyone who can make it better – it’s happened.

‘I think, actually, what we should have done was talk to each other, but because we didn’t, it made both of us really lonely. Had I opened my mouth and asked someone a simple question of: “Have you ever experienced anything like that?”

‘I would have known that actually I would have had a handful of people to speak to, and I wouldn’t have been lonely at all.’
