EastEnders Star Recalls Tragic Miscarriage While Filming BBC Soap
Turner said one miscarriage happened on the EastEnders set and that she is nervous about being seen as herself on Strictly Come Dancing.
In an interview for Prima's November issue available Wednesday, actress Lacey Turner revealed she experienced two miscarriages before her children were born, with one occurring on the EastEnders set.
Reflecting on the period, Turner admitted she 'just carried on' at work, a response she now finds 'quite sad,' while crediting colleagues for their support during the upsetting time.
Joining professional dancer Vito Coppola, Turner is now part of the Strictly Come Dancing cast and expressed she is 'nervous' about exposing herself beyond character work, saying 'I am a bit scared of letting people in, but you can't live your life in fear.'
An EastEnders spokeswoman confirmed Turner will be off-screen later this year as her character Stacey Slater departed for Brazil, though the show stated it will 'plan Stacey's return when Lacey decides the time is right.'
Nearing 40, Turner said she wants to 'go out of my comfort zone and push myself to see what I'm capable of,' emphasizing that personal growth requires facing fears rather than retreating from them.
