EASTENDERS star Lorraine Stanley has shared a rare picture of her young daughter as they enjoy a staycation together.
The 45-year-old snapped Nancy, 5, as she paddled in the sea water in a blue tie-dye dress with her hair neatly tied up in pigtails.

She added blue hearts to the caption to match the colour of the stunning ocean landscape and cloudy skies as they stood on a stone-covered beach.
Her soap co-stars were quick to head to the comments to compliment the snap, including Balvinder Sopal and Jessie Wallace.
Jessie, who plays Kat Slater in the BBC soap, replied with a heart-eyed emoji, while Balvinder Sopal, who plays Suki Pensar, wrote: “Stunning picture.”
Dozens of fans also chimed in to call the picture “beautiful”, with one woman adding the snap of rarely-seen Nancy “made their heart melt”.
Lorraine has been enjoying plenty of family time lately, as she was pictured with her three lookalike sisters for her mum’s birthday this week.
The actress looked a far cry from her character – Karen Taylor – on the BBC soap, thanks to a sleek hair style.
Gone was her trademark messy bun and instead, Lorraine wore her hair off her face with a chic hair band, alongside a dress and Gucci sliders.
She captioned the picture: “Mum’s three times cancelled belated 70th birthday party! We opted for pub drinks this time instead.”
Lorraine has played downtrodden Karen on EastEnders since 2017.
The single mum who rocked up to E20 with her children Keanu (Danny Walters), Keegan Baker (Zack Morris), Bernadette (Clair Norris), Riley and Chatham – played by real life brothers Tom and Alfie Jacobs.
The family have been embroiled in numerous dramatic storylines since including domestic abuse, poverty and racial profiling.
Lorraine is now backing a new campaign to help people recognise whether a colleague could be suffering from domestic abuse.

It comes after her on-screen daughter Chantelle was murdered by her abusive husband Gray.
Speaking about the campaign, launched by Domestic Abuse Alliance and the Retail Trust, Lorraine said: “No one should live in fear of abuse and knowing what to look out for could save a colleague’s life.
“Businesses and employers can play a vital role in helping to tackle domestic abuse and protect their workforce, before it’s too late.”
