Early life

Turner was born in Edgware, in the London Borough of Barnet, to Catholic parents Bev and Les. [2] She was raised along with her two younger sisters in Hertfordshire, near the BBC television studios in Elstree. [2] She had commented: "From my bedroom window you could see part of the square [the external filming lot for EastEnders], and you could hear them all filming at night. I used to say to my mum: "I wanna be on that!" [2] It was whilst living there that Turner decided to become an actress.

At the age of 10, Turner trained at the Sylvia Young Theatre School, but left after a year stating that it "wasn't my cup of tea". [2] She has since revealed that she was bullied whilst at school for being "too geeky". [3] Instead, she attended a local girls' private school, Peterborough and Saint Margaret's School in Bushey and went to dance, singing and acting classes outside school. [2]

[7] She stated: "I'll miss Stacey and everyone in Albert Square very much but the time has come to try something different." [8] Turner later revealed that she had agreed with Charlie Clements to leave EastEnders at the same time as him. Of the decision, Turner said: "Charlie and I always said we'd go at the same time. For quite a while I'd been saying I was going to go and kept realising I wasn't ready. But when Charlie said he was going last year I was like, 'Right, OK, I'm going too'." [9] She departed on-screen on 25 December 2010.
