EastEnders star Lacey Turner: I wasn't in nightclub brawl

Show's Stacey Slater says there was no incident

Actress Lacey Turner was out with friends at 24 on Saturday night

EastEnders star Lacey Turner has rubbished reports she got into a fight while partying at a London nightclub on Saturday.

A tabloid claimed the actress, who plays mouthy Stacey Slater, was asked to leave 24 bar in Soho after rowing with a group of girls over a VIP table.

Emma Roc, 23, alleges she was left with scratches following the clash.

‘Lacey came over and started shouting at us to move,’ she says. ‘She jumped in and put her finger in front of my face, swearing threats.

'I tried to explain we didn’t know it was a private area, but a girl joined in and her nail scraped round my face, leaving a mark across my cheek. They were behaving like drunken thugs.’

But an EastEnders spokesman insists Lacey, 20, was on her best behaviour.

‘She was at 24 on Saturday,’ he tells The Sun. 'However she was not aware of, nor involved in, any incident — nor was she thrown out the club.'
