Pregnant EastEnders star Lacey Turner wraps up her growing baby bump on supermarket trip
PREGNANT EastEnders star Lacey Turner wrapped up her growing baby bump on a trip to the supermarket.
The Stacey Slater actress looked cosy as she enjoyed a walk to the shops in lockdown today.
Lacey, 32, covered her mouth and nose with a colourful face mask and hid her eyes behind dark sunglasses, as she stayed warm in a long, cream teddy bear coat.
The star, who is already a mum to daughter Dusty, teamed her comfy coat with beige jogging bottoms and colourful trainers, as she clutched a coffee cup on her way to Lidl.
Lacey and husband Matt Kay announced their baby news in September and said it was a “miracle” she was pregnant again.
Speaking to OK!, Lacey said: “We feel so lucky to be expecting our second baby, as it took so long to get Dusty.”
The star, who is 16 weeks pregnant, had two heartbreaking miscarriages before conceiving her daughter Dusty, who was born in July 2019.
“It took so long with Dusty,” said Lacey. “But now they’re coming along like buses! After the heartbreak we went through, it’s a miracle to fall pregnant so quickly.”
Both of Lacey’s miscarriages happened at seven weeks and she admits it is a “huge relief” to be further along the pregnancy.
She said: “I still feel nervous but I think I always will. I got past seven weeks, then nine weeks, and so on. They’re all milestones.
“The 20-week mark is the point I feel like I can breathe a bit easier, as it’s the halfway point. Although I went straight onto progesterone as I think that helped last time.”
The Daily Star reported she’ll be gone again by the end of the year and show bosses have begun plotting her temporary exit.
A source said: “Lacey will be taking a break. The top bosses agreed to give her some time off from the show.

“This is a great opportunity for the writers to come up with something big for Lacey to get her teeth into.”
The source added that Lacey’s second comeback will be within the year and there are no plans for her to quit for good.
