EastEnders fans were blown away by all of the drama on screens this week, as the BBC One soap's 40th-anniversary live show aired.

While fans may have been impressed, loved ones of the cast have also been sharing their praise for the dramatic scenes.

Lacey Turner's husband Matt Kay shared a sweet message for his wife's performance, as she returned to work weeks after giving birth to their third child.

The EastEnders star, known for her iconic role as Stacey Slater, had a baby girl earlier this year, announcing her arrival on social media.

Lacey and her husband named their new arrival Gipsy Olive.

The couple already have two children, Dusty and Trilby.

The seasoned actress jumped straight back into work to gear up for the live show.

Matt shared a picture of one of the most dramatic scenes from the episode as he honoured her "phenomenal" performance.

"Sorry, but these two were phenomenal tonight. If they don't win an award for that I'll eat my hat," he said.

"I am absolutely bursting with pride for my wife and the incredible job she did at work this evening."

"Watching her collaborate with her co-workers and ultimately achieve her goals was nothing short of inspiring."

"She consistently goes above and beyond, and her passion for what she does is evident in every project she undertakes."

"I am so grateful to have such an amazing partner by my side, and I can't help but admire her strength and resilience. She truly is incredible."

Lacey and Matt tied the knot in a top secret ceremony back in September 2017. It was a celebrity filled affair in Spain and pair said “I do” in front of 120 invited guests in an exclusive resort in the north of Ibiza.

Lacey has played Stacey in the Walford-based soap since 2004.

She recently shared a post to honour the past forty years of the show.

She said: "Happy 40th birthday to the programme that changed my life! What an honour to have spent all these years watching icons work and stories change lives!"

"This show has made 40 years because of so many people in so many departments do there jobs like no one else can!"

"Thank you to everyone in front of the tele and behind the tele ! Here’s to another 40."
