BREAKING: EastEnders star Lacey Turner shares sweet name of newborn daughter
EastEnders star Lacey Turner has shared her newborn daughter’s unique name.
Last week, the Stacey Slater actor announced the arrival of her baby girl with husband Matt Kay, who she already shares 5-year-old daughter Dusty and 3-year-old son Trilby with.
Taking to Instagram today (January 22), Turner shared an adorable photo of their newborn wearing a brown knitted jumper with her name on, confirming in the caption that she’s called Gipsy Olive.
Several of Turner’s EastEnders co-stars fawned over Gipsy in the post’s comments section, including Patsy Palmer (Bianca Jackson), who wrote: “Omg I need a cuddle right now.”
“SO cute,” commented Sophie Khan Levy (Priya Nandra-Hart), while Natalie Cassidy (Sonia Fowler) added: “Just the best.”
Jaqueline Jossa, who plays Lauren Branning on the BBC soap, also commented on the post, writing: “Heaven” along with a red heart emoji.

Turner announced her pregnancy on social media in September 2024, and later shared her excitement for “another chapter in our little story”.
“I’m excited for all of us really,” she said in November. “It’s like another chapter in our little story. There’s nothing better than a newborn and a newborn cuddle, so that will be lovely.
“As the children grow older, it’s lovely,” she added of her growing family. “They change so much at this age and it’s lovely to see they’re going through their little milestones and it’s great.”
