Giovanna Fletcher said: "Aaaaaw!!! Congratulations!!"

One EastEnders fan said: "Congratulations to you all ❤️ Gutted that will also mean Stacey won’t be in Eastenders for a while!"

Soap legend Lacey has been known as feisty Stacey since her first appearance in the Square in 2004 when she was just 16 years old.

Her character is now a grandmother after daughter Lily gave birth to baby Charli.

She has been central to some of the soap's biggest stories over the past 12 months including becoming a grandmother and her role within The Six.

The Six were involved in covering up Keanu's murder and agreed to be in court to support each other after pinning it on Dean Wicks.

Meanwhile, the soap announced that Stacey's love rival Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton) is set to return to the show in the lead-up to its 40th anniversary.

Before she left, Ruby told Martin Fowler (James Bye) that she was pregnant with his baby, but he didn't believe her

Fans think Martin having to choose between his ex-wives Ruby and Stacey will be a major story in the upcoming anniversary episode.
