Inside Soap editor Gary Gillatt said: “As a six-time winner of our ‘Best Actress’ prize, it’s perhaps no surprise that Lacey takes home our ‘All-Time Icon’ award.
“Ever since her EastEnders debut in 2004, Lacey’s heartfelt performance as Stacey Slater – taking her from troubled teenager to lion-hearted young mum – has touched soap fans everywhere. Long may it continue!”

Emmerdale – which celebrated its 50th birthday this week – also had a wave of success on Monday night.
Mark Charnock was awarded ‘Best Actor’ for his portrayal of Marlon Dingle’s fight back from a debilitating stroke, which was also named ‘Best Storyline’. Marlon’s relationship with Rhona Dingle (Zoe Henry) was celebrated as ‘Best Romance’.
Meanwhile, Paige Sandhu is ‘Best Villain’ for the second year, for her performance as Emmerdale serial killer Meena Jutla.
Coronation Street’s popular Maureen Lipman was again awarded ‘Best Comic Performance’ for her role as the acid-tongued Evelyn Plummer, while Isabella Flanagan (Hope Stape) won ‘Best Young Performance’, beating her real-life older sister – three-time winner Amelia Flanagan, Emmerdale’s April Windsor – to the prize.
