EastEnders star Lacey Turner has given birth to her second child with husband Matt Kay.
The 32-year-old actress, who plays Stacey Slater on the BBC soap, announced she was expecting her second child with Matt in September.
She confirmed the wonderful news that her newborn son was born to OK! Magazine on Friday (February 5).
Lacey told the publication in a statement: “Matt and I are so completely besotted with our early surprise and Dusty is so in love with her new baby brother!
“How lucky we all are.”

They shared the wonderful news of Lacey’s pregnancy with the publication last year.
She said: “We feel so lucky to be expecting our second baby, as it took so long to get Dusty.
“After last time, we learned the best way was to have the attitude of ‘if it happens it happens’ – and then it did! It was a lovely surprise.

“It took so long with Dusty, but now they’re coming along like buses! After the heartbreak we went through, it’s a miracle to fall pregnant so quickly.”
Lacey went through two miscarriage heartbreaks before her pregnancy with little Dusty.
The star underwent tests to see if there were any medical issues, and there weren’t, and there were six months where she didn’t become pregnant.

Her barber husband Matt said: “We didn’t know if it was going to take years again so it was an amazing surprise.”
Speaking of the bittersweet nature of pregnancy, Lacey explained: “I don’t think pregnancy will ever be an exciting experience for me as I always have that worry in the back of my mind, but the further along I go in the pregnancy, the less I worry.
“Matt’s more positive than me.”
She went on: “I don’t think Matt thinks too deeply about things, whereas I’ll go straight to the worst possible scenario!”
Stacey added that she would love to be a mum-of-four, while Matt wants three children.
