ActorBorn May 19, 1978 (47 years)
Leanne Lakey (born 19 May 1978) is a British actress, best known for playing Belinda Peacock in EastEnders (2001–2003) and Charlotte Day in Family Affairs (2002)
Lakey's first professional acting role was a cameo in the television film The Last Musketeer.
During 2002 she appeared in both EastEnders and Family Affairs at the same time, becoming one of the first actors to do so. Discussing the experience, she said:
"I find I'm under more pressure at Family Affairs, as it's regular. The work schedule at FA is very hard. I'm up at 4.30 every morning and I'm lucky to get home before 9 or 10pm so it's difficult...the main difference is celebrities and fame. On EE they're all household names and they all have their own problems, but the actors on Family Affairs aren't as well known. EE is like a holiday, I get to catch up with everybody which is great. It's very relaxed, whereas Family Affairs, the schedule is so tight it's too quick."
Lakey has also appeared in episodes of Ashes to Ashes, New Tricks, Casualty and The Bill.
In January 2016, actress (Carli Norris) became the second actress to play Belinda Peacock, replacing Lakey
