Speaking about her day on set in Chester, she said: "I have been a lifelong fan of Hollyoaks... from bingeing the omnibus with my university friends to proudly following my husband, Adam Rickitt, in his role as Kyle Kelly.

"It was an absolute honour to be asked to do a cameo for the soap. Also, how many people get to play themselves in soapland?!

"When I found out I'd be on hand to help the Hollyoaks High students open their GCSE results it also brought a smile to my face. It's a day I've covered every year without fail for Good Morning Britain and remains a highlight witnessing such a life-changing event."

She continued: "I spent most of the day with Ashley Taylor Dawson (Darren) and Ela-May Demircan (Leah). Ashley I know well from working alongside Adam and he looked after me from the moment I arrived.

"I've always loved the humour he brings to Darren's character but also have incredible respect for the empathy he brings to his role.

"Ela-May is nothing short of a little diamond, a real pro who's submerged herself in her role since practically the moment she was born. I was learning from the best."

The episode is available for streaming on Channel 4 from today.
