A BBC source revealed: “Lacey wants to start bringing produce from her garden and greenhouse and the cast are very pleased. The eggs are going down well. Adam Woodyatt is a very keen chef and has been particularly grateful.”

Lacey revealed her newly-found passion for gardening on social media but has named herself Charlie Dimmock – the braless Ground Force legend.
The 36-year-old mum of two told fans on social media about her green-fingered pastime: “So when we moved we inherited the most beautiful garden, it was one of the reasons we fell in love with the house, so carefully planned throughout spring and summer things keep appearing as others slowly disappear!

“I will show it in a few weeks when it’s looking beautiful, I think it’s not sure if it’s spring yet! I know the feeling f but this ignited a spark inside me to get all green fingered and grow things! Now I am no Charlie dimmock ( apart from being bra less ) I have never been successful in keeping anything alive other than children and animals!
“But with a greenhouse and an allotment I feel obliged ! So here it goes I have no idea if I have done it right and to be honest I fully expect nothing to grow but u can only live and learn! For Mother’s Day and my birthday I asked for seeds and bulbs.”
