EastEnders' very own Lacey Turner, famed for her role as Stacey Slater, isn't the only star in her family to grace the BBC One soap. Rocketing to fame in 2004 as the feisty Stacey Slater, Lacey quickly became a fan favourite with her captivating performances and gripping storylines. Lacey's portrayal of Stacey has seen her character tackle some intense plots, from grappling with bipolar disorder to being embroiled in murder - it's been a rollercoaster ride in Albert Square for her.
But the acting talent clearly runs in the family, as Lacey's little sister also stepped into the limelight. When Lacey took a break from the show in 2010, her sister Lily Harvey, using their mum's surname professionally, joined the EastEnders cast. At just nine years old, Lily Harvey shone onscreen as Shenice Quinn, the daughter of Kat Slater's friend Martine, bringing her own charm to Walford, reports the Daily Star.

Bryan Kirkwood admitted: "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 a complete accident." Lily's stint as a guest star on EastEnders lasted until August 2011, after which she was offered a full-time role but left the show in 2012.

At the age of 20, Daisy joined Hollyoaks, the Channel 4 soap, portraying the glamorous Jenny Houston. Starting as a newcomer in the soap world while her older sister Lacey had a notable head start wasn't easy, Daisy confessed in a chat with
