Kacey joined EastEnders as poor Little Mo along with the rest of the Slater sisters in 2000, twice winning Best Actress at the British Soap Awards.
She quickly found a place at the heart of the drama with her first husband Trevor, a violent, iron-wielding brute.
Her love life on the show was as haywire as any soap character, first hooking up with Trevor’s enemy Billy Mitchell after his death.
She then embarked on a relationship with brother-in-law Alfie Moon.
Kacey has also appeared in Grantchester, Casualty and The Worst Witch.
