When my family first found out about my part in 'EastEnders' they were happy for me and very supportive.

I don't really know how my family and friends will react to seeing me on screen in a cinema. I'm sure it'll be an odd experience for them, just like I'm sure it will be for me.

I remember watching 'EastEnders' as a kid with my mum, and even my dad would be gripped by the odd episode. So to think I would be part of the show was a strange feeling at first.

Luckily for me I have a very supportive family and a loving group of friends.

I don't regret being topless in certain things, but there were some things in 'EastEnders' where there was no reason for me to be topless.

I grew up with an incredibly loving and supportive family that gave me the impression there were a lot of options for me out there.
