Tough during<br />
lockdown for actors?<br />
Yes, incredibly tough. Many<br />
of my friends have had to find<br />
work elsewhere. Whether<br />
that be in Waitrose, delivering<br />
for Amazon, working<br />
anywhere and everywhere<br />
so that they can earn money<br />
because a lot of them<br />
weren’t furloughed. There’s<br />

and whack some<br />
hoisin sauce on there - and<br />
its always delicious.<br />

Eastenders – Mick<br />
and Linda’s son.<br />
That must a been a<br />
giggle?<br />
It was amazing. I had an incredible<br />
time on the show.<br />
I learned so much while I<br />
was there, however unfortunately<br />
there is some level<br />
of stigma around actors<br />
who are in soaps. They’re<br />
called soap actors, but<br />
they shouldn’t be because<br />
