‘I can relate to it. I’ve had different kinds of therapy for years and CBT is something quite practical.

‘With my anxiety, it’s ­always like a sense of dread that something bad is going to happen. You feel like you are ­going to die, you can’t breathe.’

The soap star has been spending quality time with her family during lockdown and has been studying the diploma online.
