EASTENDERS star Lacey Turner got a special treat after being forced to spend her birthday in lockdown – after her husband Matt Kay built a special version of the Queen Vic in their home.
The 32-year-old star, who plays Stacey Slater in the soap, enjoyed a drink at his version of the famous Albert Square boozer since they couldn't go out to the pub for real.

In fact, Matt treated her to all her favourite places, starting with pastries at Caffe Nero – with him sticking a printout of the caffeine joint's famous logo beside their coffee machine.
Tagging him in, Lacey wrote: "So I had the best birthday thanks to @fussymuncher. This morning he took me to @cafe.nero for a coffee and a croissant."
Next, she revealed he had set up a branch of celeb hangout The Ivy in their lounge, with the famous logo hanging down from the ceiling and flowers hanging all along their breakfast bar.
She posted: "He then took me to @ivystalbans for dinner."
They finished up at the famous Albert Square pub, complete with a sign on the wall bearing Queen Victoria's face above a heaving drinks trolley.
Lacey appeared to have opted for a glass of wine while Matt brandished a bottle of beer in a picture she posted, writing: "Thank you for making my birthday so special! Love you forever & ever."
She looked a lot happier in the pretend Queen Vic than her character Stacey looked on screen most of the time, with her having to put up with the rest of the trouble-making Slater family.
Lacey and long-term partner Matt married in Ibiza in 2017 surrounded by her EastEnders co-stars and last year welcomed their first child, Dusty.
The actress, who has known Matt since they were 15, opted to walk down the aisle with both her parents in tow where she met Matt underneath an arch.
Discussing falling for each other at such a young age, Matt told OK!: “It’s so special that we met at such a young age.
“It doesn’t happen for a lot of people and I feel very lucky to have Lace in my life and we’re lucky to have met when we did. I think it was meant to be."
