EastEnders legend Lacey Turner has revealed how she made some show legends ‘fall to their knees’ after delivering some huge news on set.

The Stacey Slater star recently gave birth to a baby girl, but news of her pregnancy came as a massive shock to her co-stars.

Speaking to Giovanna Fletcher on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, Lacey explained how The Six – Letitia Dean, Gillian Taylforth, Kellie Bright, Diane Parish and Balvinder Sopal – were the first people she told about her pregnancy.

She had no choice but to reveal all after falling asleep onset while filming the court scenes in Dean Wicks’ murder trial.

Viewers will know that The Six framed Dean for the murder of Keanu Taylor, after covering for Linda Carter (Kellie Bright).

However, everything fell apart when Dean admitted to raping Linda in court in a bid to prove himself innocent of murder.

Eventually, Nish Panesar agreed to take the blame, and The Six got away with their murder coverup.

How did Lacey tell her co-stars?

‘My head was on the table. The director must have thought, what has got into her?’ Lacey said of filming the scenes.

‘Because I’m not someone who relaxes, I’m always up and about and I didn’t help.

‘But I was in a room full of men who had no idea what was going on.

‘I was filming with the six women, you know, The Six…. We were in the Winnebago, and they were like, “oh, how are you feeling?”

‘And I was like, “well, I’m actually pregnant”. And they all literally fell to their knees. And I was like, “you’re the first people I’ve told!”.’

She went on to reveal how she knew they would soon start questioning why she kept falling asleep, and that she wouldn’t be able to get away with keeping it a secret for long.

‘Normally you can pop up to your dressing room, but I didn’t have a dressing room to hide [in]. I had nowhere to hide. I’m just stuck in the Winnebago with everyone looking at me.’
