Never watched eastenders

Lacey Turner  has revealed that she has rarely watched EastEnders.

The actress played Stacey Slater on the BBC soap from 2004 to 2010. She explained that she didn't like watching herself while she was in the soap, and still does not tune in today.



"I didn't even watch it while I was in it! You don't have time and once you've been there for 14 hours you don't want to," she told Radio Times.

"Now I mostly watch TV at night, in bed after a cup of hot chocolate, and at the moment I'm really, really into The Following with Kevin Bacon."

The Our Girl actress also spoke about her upbringing, and how it helped her land a leading role on EastEnders.

She said: "When I was 14, I worked on a market stall near where it's filmed. I used to see the actors drive past and say to my mum, 'I'm telling you, I can do that!'

"So it's weird that I ended up playing Stacey who also sold clothes on the market, although she was better at it than I was."

Turner will play molly in Tony Grounds's single 90-minute drama Our Girl, a film about a woman who joins the Royal Army Medical Corps and heads to the war in Afghanistan. It airs on March 24 at 9pm on BBC One.

Ricky Norwood - who plays Fatboy in EastEnders - recently called for Turner to return to the soap as Stacey.
