Yahoo News EastEnders star Lacey Turner confirms the name of her newborn baby boy
Lacey Turner recently became a mum again when she gave birth to a baby boy.
The EastEnders actress, known for her role as Stacey Slater, welcomed a son in February with husband Matt Kay.
The couple, who also have daughter Dusty, have now confirmed their son's name, opting to call their little one Trilby Fox.
Speaking to OK! magazine, Lacey revealed how she came up with the name.
"I knew a girl once and her sister was called Trilby Fox and I always thought it was such a cool name, and I quite liked it for a boy, so I've had it in my head for a really long time!" she said.
"It’s nice because when people say, 'What's his name?' you say, 'Trilby, like the hat.' When we had Dusty, we said, 'Dusty, like Dusty Springfield'."
Trilby was born at 36 weeks, and had to spend two days on the special care unit as he had fluid on his lungs.
"It's so strange to see your baby strapped up to loads of wires but he's doing really well now," she said.
Lacey added her labour was so unexpected, she'd only been off work for two days, and went straight back following the birth.
"I texted work saying, 'I won't be in tomorrow or the next day but I'm happy to come in next week.'
"I had such a quick birth and my recovery was so quick, I just popped in a few days later to finish my couple of scenes.
"EastEnders were amazing and accommodated the times I could work. The plan is to have six months off and go back in August. So please, God, we'll be able to travel to Ibiza so we can have a few months at our home there!"
EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One.
