EastEnders star Lacey Turner was voting for somebody else to win the National Television Award she scooped, her co-star Danny Dyer has revealed.
The actress scored the serial drama performance prize for her portrayal of Stacey Slater’s battle with post-partum psychosis.
However, she had voted for Emmerdale star Danny Miller to take home the gong, according to her co-star.
Danny said: “I’m so proud of Lacey, she is too good for her own good. I’ve told her to be s******.
“She was voting for Danny Miller, insane behaviour.”
Clutching her award backstage, Lacey added: “I was so sure I was staying in my seat. It was a bit of a shock.
“It is so lovely to be supported and to be able to go away and come back and have the same amount of love is phenomenal.
“I’m hoping Stacey will have a happier year since she’s been through so much. They have lots of surprises planned and some brilliant stories.”
