Lacey Turner could land Eliza Doolittle stage role

Eastender Lacey Turner (22) is aiming to become a stage star – and could land the role of Eliza Doolittle.

Lacey,  who has played Stacey Branning for five years, is taking singing and elocution lessons in a bid to land a top West End role.

Pals reckon she’d be ideal as Eliza – the Cockney flower girl given speech lessons so she can pass as a lady in My Fair Lady.

One said: “Lacey wants to hit the ground running but not many lead roles would suit because she looks so young.

“Eliza would be perfect because of the Cockney accent.”

Lacey quits Albert Square later this year.
