EastEnders actress Lacey Turner shares snap with her rarely seen mum and sisters who are secret soap stars
EASTENDERS star Lacey Turney has not one but TWO soap-star sisters.
The actress - who plays Stacey Slater on BBC One soap - beamed as she posed next to her mum Bev and her famous siblings Daisy Turner and Lily Harvey.
The throwback photo was posted by Lacey's mum to wish the actress a happy birthday.
Lacey, 34, looked stunning in a loose fitted black dress with pattern detail around the neck.
The soap star wore her brunette tresses in a neat bun and added a pop of colour with cherry lipstick.
Her mum looked glamourous in a floral maxi dress, while Daisy rocked a burnt orange floaty dress and her younger sister Lily opted for a black mini skirt and a cream blouse.

They flashed a big smile as they posed for a rare family photo.
Lily and Daisy made their TV debuts back in 2010.
Daisy Turner was 20 when she joined rival soap Hollyoaks on Channel 4 in 2011, starring as blonde beauty Jenny Houston.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo at the time, Daisy admitted it was tricky just starting out while Lacey was a well-established soap star.

She said: “All three of us do it. Lacey and I acted as kids. Our mum, Bev, let us do everything – singing, dancing and acting.
“I was at home with my mum and sisters when I got the call to say I’d got the part. Lacey said if I need her, she is there.
“I suppose there is a bit of pressure because she is very good at what she does.
“She has done it for years and I am just starting out.”
Sadly, Daisy’s time on the show was short-lived, as Jenny was bumped off by serial killer Silas, as part of a long-running plot line.
Daisy’s now 32, and hasn’t appeared in many programmes since – though she did appear in a short film called You Got The Time?
And just before Lacey said goodbye to Albert Square in December 2010, her younger sister Lily Harvey joined the cast.
The then-nine-year-old, who uses her mother’s last name for acting work, popped up as Shenice Quinn – the daughter of Kat Slater’s pal Martine.
The executive producer at the time, Bryan Kirkwood shared that he didn’t even know Lily was related to Lacey.
He confessed at the time: "Whether by accident or design I sat down and watched a [video] tape of a very talented young girl.
“And it was only after we decided that I was told it was Lacey's sister. So it was complete accident.”

Lily guest starred on EastEnders until August 2011 – when she was asked to join the cast full-time, before finally stepping away in 2012.
Lily is now 23 – and doesn’t appear to be acting anymore, either.
