Tonight, as she prepared to get hitched, Lacey – who is a twin – opened up after her childhood trauma of never feeling as “pretty” as her sister Paige.
Speaking to the camera, her voice cracked as she bravely said: “Growing up I was bullied quite badly.”
Lacey went on: “This was because people always thought my twin was prettier than me.”
She went onto to say she always felt like the “ugly ducking”, but her strong bond with her twin sister helped her through it.
The new series of Married At First Sight continued tonight and saw Lacey walk down the aisle.
However, not all went according to plan, as her new groom Nathan first thought he was marrying her twin sister.
To make matters worse he then fumbled through his vows and said Lacey looked “nice”.
Meanwhile, The Sun revealed how Lacey and her sister Paige have already appeared on the small screen in another reality show.
They were filmed for an episode of Dress To Impress after her twin sister signed up to the show four years ago.
Paige – who together with Lacey describe themselves as “IVF miracle twins” – was dressed by three style conscious single guys in an attempt to find love.
In a throwback clip on TikTok, they can both be seen on the ITV2 show while wearing some very garish outfits.
Lacey wrote alongside the footage: “SERIES 2 EPISODE 25’ on ITV2. #family #dating #dresstoimpress #whodidipick #itv2 #twins #besties.”
Away from the TV screen, 27-year-old Lacey works as an office manager and she lives in Hertfordshire.
Before she went on MAFS, she described herself as confident, loud and sassy, while insisting that she would “brings the fun” to social situations.

Lacey said her “positive and vibrant attitude” has seen her
through ups and downs and has “shaped the person she is
today”.
Despite being a serial dater, the stunning brunette has been single for the past four years, following the end of a 10-year relationship.
After it was revealed she would be on the show, her sister Paige posted online: “Wooooo yassss my incredible amazing twin sister you deserve the world!
“You are my inspiration, I am sooooo proud of you goooooo Lacey gooooo Lacey gooooo Lacey goooo Lacey gooo Lacey!”
Speaking to Channel 4 before walking down the aisle, Lacey said she is very much in it for the long-term.
“I’d love to get a husband. I’m thinking long term so husband, babies, travel then move in together,” she said.
She also says she wants to “get rid of all the f*** boys in her life and find someone who will love her for her.
