Lacey Turner has opened up about her close bond with her real life soap stars sisters ahead of her upcoming return to EastEnders.
The actress, who plays Stacey Slater in the hit soap opera, isn't the only member of her family to have the acting bug.
The star's youngest sister, Lily Harvey has also appeared on the long-running BBC show that made Lacey a household name.
The 21-year-old nabbed the role of Shenice Quinn in 2011, shortly after her older sister took a break from the hit show.
The EastEnders ' stars also have another soap-star sibling, with sister Daisy Turner having previously appeared on Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks.
Ahead of her return to Albert Square, Lacey has spoken about her love for her sisters and revealed that they "speak every day".
"I'm really close with my sisters," the 33-year-old told New! magazine earlier this week.
"We speak every day. My middle sister lives in Singapore and we haven't seen her for such a long time, which is really sad."
"She was supposed to be in Ibiza with us, but because of the pandemic this hasn't happened as Singapore has restrictions in place" the star continued.
The mum-of-two added: "I don't know what we would do without FaceTime."
The star was also grilled about her character Stacey Slater's highly anticipated return to Walford later this year.
Lacey revealed she was excited to be back filming and said that there is "never a dull moment" with the much-loved soap character.
While the Eastenders star may be appearing back on our screens soon, it seems her beloved sisters are no longer soap stars.
Middle sister Daisy's time on Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks was short lived following her debut back in 2011.
Appearing as Rebecca Massey, her character was bumped off by serial killer Silas after spending less than a year in the fictional Chester time.
Since then, the stunning star has been working as model and appeared in short film, You Got the Time?
Lily's stint on Eastenders was also relatively short lived, playing the role of Kat Moon's pal Martine's daughter for less than two years.
While it may seem like the youngest of the three sisters got a foot in the Eastenders door thanks to her famous sibling, producers had actually "no idea" the 21-year-old was related to Lacey.
Lily used her mother's maiden name as her stage name and bagged the role of Shenice Quinn in 2011 without any nepotism.
EastEnders executive producer Bryan Kirkwood said at the time, he'd picked Lily, then nine, for the part from her audition video and was unaware that she was related to Lacey.
He said: "The truth of it is I didn't know she was Lacey's sister until after I said she was the girl I wanted to cast.
"Whether by accident or design I sat down and watched a tape of a very talented young girl and it was only after we decided that I was told it was Lacey's sister. So it was complete accident."
