The fan-favourite actress is set to take a break from the soap this year to focus on life outside the show. She first made her debut as Stacey Slater in 2004.
An EastEnders spokeswoman told the paper: "We can confirm that Lacey will be off-screen later this year, but there is plenty of more drama to come beforehand and we will look forward to planning Stacey’s return when Lacey decides the time is right."
RadioTimes.com has reached out to the BBC for additional comment on this story.
Despite recently giving birth, Turner went on to feature heavily in the 40th anniversary live episode in February, which centred on Stacey losing her beloved second husband, Martin Fowler (James Bye).
Next week in EastEnders, Stacey will be seen not leaving her bedroom as she struggles with her loss, leaving her eldest daughter Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) to care for herself, her baby daughter, and siblings.
Turner previously left EastEnders in 2010 and was absent until a return in 2014.
