“I was so over the moon and couldn’t believe it. It was such an amazing feeling knowing that I was going to be joining my favourite TV soap."

She added: “I was so excited and nervous for my first day - I just wanted to make a good impression. Everyone was so welcoming and I felt comfortable straight away.

"Filming is different at the minute, obviously. But ITV have put all of the necessary precautions in place to make everyone feel safe.

"I’m having a blast meeting everyone and making friends with the fabulous cast and crew. We are all one big family."

"I've always had to have ID on me and I'll have to carry it with me even more now."
