Yahoo News Casualty's Cathy Shipton confirms salsa dance was most embarrassing moment on show
Following her tragic exit as Duffy, actress Cathy Shipton has reflected on one of the more light-hearted moments from her time on Casualty.
Cathy's character sadly passed away recently after a seizure, and had been suffering from dementia since a diagnosis last year.
Looking back on her stint on the soap – which she first joined when the show launched in 1986 – the actress admitted one particular scene was the "most embarrassing" of her career.
A Casualty and Holby City fan account posted a clip of Duffy and Charlie doing an amusing salsa dance in the staff room.
Responding on Twitter, Cathy joked: "Ok, confession time....this is THE most embarrassing moment in my career so far.......and it keeps coming back! #takeitonthechin #laughatyourself"
Speaking previously about her exit from the soap, the actress said: "When they were talking about the story, I asked if they'd take it to the end for Duffy.
"I hadn't said this to them but I already knew when I went back four years ago that I wouldn't want to stay forever. I also knew that I'd want to have a story where the character died so we could shut the door completely."
As for what will happen to Charlie going forward, Cathy explained: "He's going to go through the wringer. Poor Derek is having to grow his beard out for the story and he's also dishevelled and very lonely."
Casualty airs on BBC One.
