'EastEnders' actress happy to be "boring"

EastEnders star Lacey Turner has revealed that she is nothing like her character Stacey Slater.

The actress admits that she is "boring" and prefers to stay at home rather than attending wild parties.

"I'm quite boring. I'm a home girl. I like to stay in and paint my toe-nails and eat pizza," she told The Mirror. "In fact, my ideal night is a good film, loads of chocolate and then bed.

"I'm not really a party girl. The idea of standing in a club with all sweaty people and loud music doesn't get me going. I'll go if it's a friend's birthday, but it's not something I'd want to do every night. I've always been like that. I'm one of those people who stands in the corner. Stacey would be down the front, but not me."

Turner was named Best Actress at the British Soap Awards last month, beating off competition from fellow nominees Jessie Wallace and Kacey Ainsworth.

She added, "I don't even really go to the parties at the awards ceremonies. Even when I won at the Soap Awards I stayed 10 minutes. Standing in those heels, I just wanted to take them off and I'd left by 10.15pm."
