It’s important to be able to take criticism but how do you react to someone who saunters up to you & says, “Hey, I can’t stand Casualty... but can I have a photo?” If you’re quintessentially British like me, you agree to said photo but try & show distaste in your smile choice 😂

Actors have to take other non-acting work to survive our industry. This has been greatly exasperated by the pandemic, not least because many have fallen through the cracks of the government SEISS. Please don’t try and shame people for taking other work to pay their mortgage etc.

To answer a query we keep getting at

. Yes Fenisha was pregnant for like a year. Nothing to do with us having to stop filming for lockdown & thus a very undramatic birth off screen. Actually because she has the gestation period of an elephant. Hope that clears that up 😜
