While fans may best know Heather Peace from her extensive acting credits, some will be shocked to hear that she’s also a singer.
Heather regularly performs all over the country and even her Instagram followers witness a little sneak-peek of her shows.
Not only does she sing but she also plays guitar and piano joins a band to perform at live concerts.
Her EastEnders co-stars have been incredibly supportive of her second career with the likes of Lacey Turner and Emma Barton all praising her tracks.
She’s released five albums throughout her career, with the most recent dropping in 2018 titled Hey Mayhem.

Many fans will recognise Heather from her time on Waterloo Road as Nikki Boston.
She joined the teaching staff in series seven and made her last ever appearance on the popular TV show towards the end of series nine.
Her character later became the headteacher and deputy headteacher and she had a total of 47 episodes on the show.
As the show prepares for the ultimate comeback, Heather has said a return to the series would “be amazing at some point” – so she’s definitely not closed the door.

Heather worked on both Casualty and Holby City in her time and even had two separate stints on the latter.
