The 'EastEnders' actress already has a lower back inking and an etching on her thigh but has added yet more colourful artwork to her upper body following a long session with her tattooist at Aggys Ink in Hornsey, north London, over the weekend.

The 29-year-old star took to her Instagram account on Monday (15.05.17) to share a photograph of her sitting in the tattoo chair while her artist worked on the animal inking.

She accompanied the shot with the caption: "She's the best @aggyink (sic)."

The brunette beauty then added another photo of her in a low-back dress, which shows all of her tattoos clearly, and wrote: "@aggyink 'd up (sic)"

It's not known whether Lacey just got the elephant etching or whether she also had the Hamsa tattoo,which symbolises the "hand of God", above the elephant and two ornate birds, which represents freedom, carved into her flesh during the same session.

Lacey's new tattoos come just a few months after her longtime partner Matt Kay -

who she's been dating since her teens -popped the question during a trip to Venice.

She said previously: "I was sobbing after Matt proposed - it was such a shock. We stayed up until about 3am as it was such a big adrenaline rush. We were so exciting, ringing around all our friends and family."

And, although they're yet to tie the knot, the soap star - who has two dogs with her partner - has admitted she's ready for motherhood and would like four children.

She said at the time: "I'm ready for motherhood and I want four children - Matt wants three. We need something a bit more exciting in our lives!"
