EastEnders star Lacey Turner has taken to social media in support of her sister Lily Harvey's music career.
Not to be confused with Lillia Turner, who plays Lacey's on-screen daughter Lily Slater in the BBC soap, Lily Harvey is Lacey's real-life younger sister.
The 21-year-old is currently pursuing a career in music and, in support of it, Lacey shared a video of her sister singing an acoustic cover of 'Yours' by Ella Henderson on her Instagram Story.

Despite Lily's interest in music, she did have a brief acting stint in EastEnders back in early 2011 as Shenice Quinn, the daughter of Kat's friend Martine (Hollyoaks' Tamara Wall).
Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood admitted that he didn’t actually know Lily was related to Lacey during the audition process.

"Whether by accident or design I sat down and watched a [video] tape of a very talented young girl," he said at the time, adding: "And it was only after we decided that I was told it was Lacey's sister. Lily got the role entirely on her own merits."

In a current storyline, Stacey's 12-year-old Lily is pregnant and is set to reach a decision about whether she'll terminate the pregnancy or not next week.
Discussing Lillia's heavy role, Lacey said: "Lillia is such a great little actress – there’s something about her that is so warm and so natural, and her instincts are just bang-on.
"She’s been so desperate for a storyline of her own for so many years, so to see her have one is lovely. To watch her absolutely nail it has just been brilliant."
EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
