Gold Dust

My Life (so far) with the Women Who Shaped Me

From June Brown, Barbara Windsor, Pam St Clement and Wendy Richard to her mother, grandmother, sisters and daughters, Lacey Turner celebrates the important, inspiring and powerful women who have made her the woman she is today.

Lacey Turner burst onto our television screens in 2004, starring as the feisty, outspoken and much-loved Stacey Slater. For more than two decades, she has been at the heart of some of EastEnders’ most-watched storylines, including her heartwrenching romances with Bradley Branning and Martin Fowler, her role in “The Six” storyline, featuring Albert Square’s most powerful women, and her moving portrayals of bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis.

Both on and off screen, Lacey’s life has been defined by strong, fearless, inspiring women. From the matriarchs in her own life to the EastEnders legends who guided her early career on the show, Lacey has always been inspired by the immense courage, talent and kindness of women. Now, in Gold Dust, Lacey invites readers behind the scenes of her life, sharing the women, their wisdom and the unforgettable moments that have shaped her.

Filled with behind-the-scenes gossip and hilarious anecdotes, we hear “life wisdom” from EastEnders icons, learn how Lacey’s iconic Nanny Chick inspired Stacey’s spiritedness, and glimpse the reality of growing up in the public eye. Gold Dust is an uplifting celebration and a reminder that women are bloody amazing – just as precious as gold dust.
