Elsewhere, back in January 2021, the Ash actress revealed to Inside Soap that she was inspired to walk the iconic Walford streets by Lacey Turner, aka Stacey Slater.

"I first started watching EastEnders because of Lacey Turner," she said. "I wasn't allowed to watch the show when I was younger – however, my drama teacher told me to study someone on TV who I aspired to be like from an acting perspective, so I told my mum I needed to watch Stacey Slater for homework!

"It would be a dream come true to work with Lacey more."

EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
