EastEnders star Lacey Turner has two famous siblings who have also acted in British soaps.
Lacey, 34, has been part of the BBC soap since 2004 and is a huge favourite among viewers and critics alike, with her bagging a number of accolades over the years with her role as Stacey Slater.
The soap star isn’t the only one from the Turner family who has a knack for acting as her younger sister Daisy, 32, and Lily Harvey, 21, grew up with her near the BBC studios in Elstree.
Lily appeared in the same soap as her sister and was cast as Shenice Quinn, the daughter of Kat Moon’s friend, Martine.
She had a role back in 2011 and later returned as a full-time part of the cast. However, her role was short-lived as her story ended in August 2012.

Meanwhile, their sister Daisy grabbed a role in rival soap Hollyoaks. She had the role of Rebecca Massey.
She showed up on the show in March 2011 and made her final appearance in December the same year.
Her character was the late ex-girlfriend of Doug Carter who arrived in the village with the fake name Jenny Houston and kidnapped Rhys Ashworth.

She ends up being strangled to death after she tried to drug someone during a picnic in the woods.
Meanwhile, Lacey recently took to her Instagram to share a sweet photo of her children, Dusty, two, and Trilby, one, whom she shares with hubby Matt Kay.
Capturing a sweet snap of her two tots watching the TV, the brother and sister duo were leaning over an ottoman while fixated on their programme.
Dusty donned a sweet rainbow romper, while Trilby wore a romper covered in silhouettes of dinosaurs.

Posting the photo on Instagram mum Stacey penned: “My World”.
However, fans were too busy being distracted by her leopard-print wallpaper, which they said channelled her onscreen relative’s personality.
One fan and follower of Lacey commented: “I absolutely love that you have Kat Slater wallpaper.”
Another then added: “So cute and I love the fact you have Slater wall paper.”
While someone else asked: “Gorgeous little monkeys. Can I ask where your lepard [sic] print wall paper is from?”
To which one keen EastEnders fan replied jokingly: “Her auntie Kat!”
And her on-screen second cousin Kat Slater, who has a penchant for leopard print, is played by Jessie Wallace.
