She revealed that she's been keeping in touch with some of her cast mates during the lockdown, specifically her on-screen husband. "Alex [Lincoln] – who plays Jamie is a good friend – he's like a brother so I check in with him at least once a week.
"Social media is fab because you can see what people are up to and makes you realise we're all in this together.
"I'm really looking forward to going back, I love working on the show and I think it'll feel even more tight knit than before."
