Spot the similarity! Lacey Turner's doppelganger surprises EastEnders fans

EastEnders fans were left buzzing after a familiar face made a surprise appearance in a nightclub scene – turns out it was the spitting image of Lacey Turner's little sister!

In one of this week's episodes, Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) and his garage buddy Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) decided to celebrate Harry's mom's birthday at a local hangout. As they were chatting up some women at the bar, one of them caught Harry's eye – she looked incredibly familiar!

It turns out the mysterious woman was none other than Lily Ruby Turner, the actress and singer sister of Lacey Turner, who has played Stacey Slater since 2004. With more than 17k followers on TikTok, she's no stranger to the spotlight.

But this wasn't her first time in Walford – back in 2011-2012, Lily played the role of a young Shenice Quinn, the daughter of Martina Quinn (Tamara Wall). Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) and her husband Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) took care of her during some chaotic life events.

Fans were quick to recognize Lily and went wild on social media congratulating her on her return. One fan exclaimed, "I knew she looked familiar!", while another asked, "Didn't she used to be Shenice?" And someone else confirmed, "Yeah, she was a little girl that Kat and Alfie took care of."

The resemblance between the sisters was uncanny, with one fan remarking, "She looks like 2010 Stacey omg!" and another adding, "Omg she's Lacey reincarnated."

While Harry tried to chat up the familiar-looking woman, he was interrupted by a long-forgotten one-night stand. But the real excitement was the surprise appearance of Lily – EastEnders fans couldn't get enough!

EastEnders: A family affair

Turns out EastEnders is a family-oriented show. With Lacey Turner's sister joining the clan, it seems that the trend of stars with famous relatives continues. Sophie Khan Levy, who joined the show as Priya Nandra-Hart in October 2023, was recently revealed to have an actress mom, Shaneen Khan. You might remember her from her role as Mrs. Bhamra in the 2002 movie Bend It Like Beckham!

When fans realized Sophie and Shaneen's relationship, many shared their shock on TikTok, saying things like, "Little did I know, [Sophie] is actually the daughter of Shaneen Khan, who is famously known for her role in Bend It Like Beckham as the mother."

With two famous relatives in EastEnders and a major role in Bend It Like Beckham, it seems Sophie Khan Levy is destined for greatness! Make sure you tune in to EastEnders to catch all the drama and family fun.
