Heather also shared a number of snaps of her concentrating hard on her rehearsal performance. In a video posted at the same time, she is seen morphing herself into a real riock star and she is on her knees while on the floor, playing the guitar.
With her back to the camera, Heather seemed worlds away from her slightly stoic character on the BBC soap. Katie captioned the posts saying: "Oh MK Pride you were lush @heatherpeaceofficial #pride #miltonkeynes." And in a show of support, Heather then re-posted the same post along with other snaps of her off stage. And her EastEnders co-stars were quick to comment on her post. Lacey Turner commented: "Giving me all the summer feels."
And Honey Mitchell, played by Emma Barton posted a few clapping hand emojis. In EastEnders, Eve married Stacey to get out of prison and moved in with her and Stacey's family. Since arriving in Walford, she has delved straight into a number of juicey storylines including an affair and discovering Stacey's stalker.

Having been classically trained from the age of six on the piano, Heather has always had a love for music. In 2011, she decided to re-ignite her passion and embarked on a UK sell out tour and produced an acoustic album of covers combined with some original songs.
