Turner not keen on live EastEnders

'EastEnders' star Lacey Turner has said that she'd rather not appear in the first live episode of the soap in February.

Asked by the Press Association if her character Stacey Slater would feature in the episode, Turner replied: "I hope not but I think I will be - I'm not very good at doing things live, I'm awful in fact, I can't even do a speech, but hopefully it will go all right."

The live show will mark the 25th anniversary of the start of the soap on BBC One and there is speculation that a murder mystery storyline will be resolved during the episode.
