EastEnders actress Lacey Turner has shared a photo of her rarely seen mum and two sisters - who are actually soap stars themselves.
Lacey, who plays Stacey Slater in the hit BBC One soap, took to her social media to share her talented family with her followers.
She posed next to proud mum Bev and sisters Daisy Turner and Lily Harvey, who have both been actresses themselves.
Lacey, 34, shared the photo to wish her mum a happy birthday and looked stunning in a flowing black dress.

“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.”
