Inside EastEnders' Eve star Heather Peace's home with wife and kids - from recording studio to huge garden
While many will recognise Heather Peace as Nikki Boston in Waterloo Road, most will now know her as EastEnders' Eve Unwin. The actress made her soap debut in October 2021 and has gone on to become a fan favourite with EE viewers, especially due to Eve's relationship with Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) in Walford.
Eve and Suki will take centre stage on New Year's Day as the pair's wedding takes place in EastEnders. However, with Suki's ex-husband Nish vying for revenge, it remains to be seen if the pair will manage to exchange vows. Away from EE, actress Heather is happily married to wife Ellie Dickinson.
They had a civil partnership ceremony in 2013, before converting it into a marriage the following year. Heather and Ellie share three gorgeous daughters; Annie Mary, born in April 2015, and twins Jessie and Lola, who were born in June 2017.

The family live in a gorgeous home in Brighton, which Heather shares the occasional peek at on her Instagram, with her 29,000 followers. As is to be expected with three children, there are toys galore scattered around the home. The little ones also have a lovely garden area at the back of the home to play in, which stretches out from patio doors.
They also have an adorable play area with a shed on a heightened area in the garden. The kids' bedroom features snug beds and wicker baskets with toys in so they can grab a cuddly toy and go. The living room is chic, and boasts wooden floors and a large grey star print rug. Artwork hangs from the walls and here is an impressive white piano in the space too, to tinker on.
Christmas doesn't go unnoticed in Heather's household either. The EastEnders star has revealed a gorgeously decorated tree in past years on her social media account, filled with fun and colourful decorations. She shared a clip of this year's tree, revealing that it features many "special" decorations.
"I love getting the box of baubles out for the tree. So many special ones. Memories. And many that my mum has bought over the years (we buy each other one every year) and many the kids have made. None of it really matches, and I love that about it. Cause it’s just a family memory tree :) Oh, and that darned #elfontheshelf," Heather told fans on Instagram.
Elsewhere, Heather has given fans a peek inside her makeshift music recording studio. Situated in a small room at her home, the actress has shared videos and pictures from the space, which features a keyboard, guitar, computer along with other equipment.
The star's home also features a modern kitchen, complete with white cupboards and vibrant blue tiles. Quirky framed prints are hung across the walls, adding a pop of colour to the space.
On joining EastEnders last year, Heather said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the cast of Eastenders and I love my character Eve. She’s tough, but fair; super bright and cheeky. I’m loving working with such a brilliant cast, in particular Lacey Turner. We immediately got on and sparked off each other which makes going to work easy & fun.”
Executive Producer Jon Sen added: “We are delighted to welcome Heather to the cast of EastEnders. She is playing a fascinating character in Eve and her arrival in Albert Square will be sure to cause a whole lot of mayhem which we can’t wait to explore, particularly through her relationship with Stacey and the rest of the Slater clan. Heather brings the perfect amount of boldness and wit to the role and we can’t wait to introduce her to the fans.”
