EASTENDERS fans are in tears after Stacey Slater’s emotional goodbye to her children as she went to prison.
The cleaner – who is played by actress Lacey Turner in the BBC soap – was sentenced to a year in prison for assaulting Ruby Allen and causing her to have a miscarriage.
Viewers know Stacey did no such thing, but Ruby outplayed her and Stacey was sent to prison.
In tonight’s episode she said an emotional goodbye to her kids and mum.
Jean told her: “I was just thinking you’re amazing.
“You didn’t exactly have the greatest example of a mother. My biggest gift to you was bipolar and yet here you are – the best mum those kids could ask for.
“You are only human but you are still trying. You are still hanging on in there, carrying on for them.”
“I’m so scared to say goodbye,” Stacey admitted.
Jean replied: “I know, it’s the worst thing – leaving. So we’ll make it easy on the kids today, eh, no fuss, no big dramas.
“You just go on your way. I know I wasn’t much cop when you were little but you can rely on me when you’re gone. I will take care of your children, I promise.”
With that Stacey went to say goodbye to her children.
“I’m always with you. You be good for nanny jean, you do as you’re told because I’ve got to go away for a little while but you know nanny Jean is going nowhere.”
Turning to her mum, she said: “I love you mum.”
With that Stacey walked off to court alone in tears and fans were crying too.
One wrote: “stacey breaking my f***ing heart”
A second said: “this is so sad i could cry. poor stace.”
Another added: “STOP MY HEART IS HURTING SO BAD”
