LACEY Turner has put EastEnders bosses in a panic before tonight's live episode, after being struck down by flu.
The star - who plays newlywed Stacey Branning - was sent home from rehearsals yesterday, as she fell ill and struggled to say her lines.
A show insider told a newspaper: "She was croaking at cast members, saying 'I can't speak'.
"Lacey is always such a professional and she doesn't want to do anything to jeopardise the live show."
The 21-year-old is due to play a large part in tonight's 25th anniversary live special, as the wife of prime suspect Bradley, played by Charlie Clements, who is set to leave the show tonight.
But her sudden illness has thrown plans into chaos.
Will she make the live show?
