Lacey Turner is on maternity leave from EastEnders and she’s taken her new baby Dusty on her first holiday.
She’s spent the weeks since Dusty’s birth melting fans’ hearts by sharing pictures of the gorgeous girl and now she’s reflected on how much life has changed since she’s had her.
Sharing a picture of herself and husband Matt Kay from four years ago, she posted it alongside an image of the couple with Dusty in the same spot today.

She captioned the shot: “Four years later and a new addition. Dusty Doo we love you.”
She hashtagged the Fullerton Bay Hotel, which is in Singapore, so it seems she’s braved a long-haul flight with a little one! Well done, Lacey.
Fans were quick to comment, with one writing: “The cutest!”
Another added: “Excellent family picture.”
“What a beautiful family,” added a third.
Lacey also posted a picture of Matt kissing Dusty’s head and captioned it: “My [world emoji].”
Earlier this week she posted an emotional shot of her sister, Daisy, meeting her niece for the first time.
Daisy’s eyes are filled with tears as she meets the little one.
Lacey captioned the shot: “When Dusty met Auntie Day Day.”

Last week Lacey delighted fans with a glimpse into their home life with gorgeous pictures of Dusty’s nursery – including gifts Daisy had sent for her niece.
The star has opted for neutral colours for her little girl, with a unique cot that has ombre bars.
Dusty also has a blanket with her name embroidered on it, and a simple wooden memory box with the letter D on its lid.
Last week, Lacey also shared images of Dusty having a photoshoot done.
In one image the baby is surrounded by flowers, and in another she’s wearing an adorable bow in her hair and resting her sleeping face on her hands. So cute!

Lacey introduced her daughter last month after she and her husband Matt Kay welcomed the little one into the world.
Lacey, 31, showed her off in a photo shoot with OK! Magazine and revealed her unusual name: Dusty Violet Kay.
Lacey, who plays Stacey Fowler in the soap, told the publication: “Dusty’s our little miracle – we call her Special Kay!”
Lacey announced her pregnancy in February.
Confirming the news to OK! Magazine – where she said at the time that she was due in mid-July – Lacey said the couple had “dreamed of having a family for so long”.
The former Our Girl star tragically suffered two miscarriages before her current pregnancy, and told OK! she felt as though her “whole world had fallen to pieces” when she lost her babies.
She said: “I blamed myself thinking that I’d done something wrong. I’d think, ‘Why me? What did I do?’ But, of course, I hadn’t done anything wrong – it’s all down to chromosomes and luck, really.
“Speaking to other people about it helped me. Women shouldn’t feel ashamed to talk about it as it happens to so many women.”

In May, the star celebrated her baby shower in her north London home and shared photos from the bash.
She captioned the pictures: “I’m a lucky girl.
“Thank you to all the lovely ladies for making today so special but most of all thank you to @daisy90 @bevharv @lily_harvey @nannychick!! My gals did good.”
Lacey is said to have made a brief return to EastEnders recently to film a few scenes.
