television studios in Elstree. She had commented: "From my bedroom
window you could see part of the square [the external filming lot for
EastEnders], and you could hear them all filming at night. I used to
say to my mum: "I wanna be on that!" It was whilst living there that
Turner decided to become an actress.At the age of 10, she trained at
the Sylvia Young Theatre School to achieve her ambition, but left
after a year stating that it "wasn't my cup of tea". She has since
revealed that she was bullied whilst at stage school, by children who
teased her for being "geeky". Instead, she attended a local girls'
private school, Peterborough and Saint Margaret's School in Stanmore
and went to dance, singing and acting classes outside school.
