Sarah Jayne Dunn has experienced her most "emotionally draining and stressful" weeks of her life after her son was taken ill.
The \'Hollyoaks\' star\'s three-year-old son Stanley has been unwell this week, and she "can\'t wait" for him to be back to 100 per cent.
She wrote on Instagram: "I\'ve had the most emotionally draining & stressful week of my life.
I can\'t wait for my little man to be back to full health first & foremost (sic)"
And the 38-year-old actress hinted she had taken some time off from \'Hollyoaks\' - on which she portrays Mandy Morgan - to care for her little one, admitting when he is fighting fit again she will be glad to be back acting alongside Steph Waring (Cindy Cunningham).
She added: "Then I can\'t wait to be back on set doing a job that I love & working with people that make me smile. Love ya @stephwaring
Fingers crossed it won\'t be much longer before I\'m back (sic)"
Sarah previously admitted she would love Stanley to appear in \'Hollyoaks\' one day.
Speaking in 2017, said: "\'Hollyoaks\' coming along again has been perfect in terms of where Stanley was, and where I am.
"It\'s been like going back to work from maternity leave.
"Stanley has already been outside the Dog in the Pond [pub]. I might try and get him a cameo."
Sarah returned to the Channel 4 soap in 2017 after a six-year break, and she loved seeing some familiar faces in the village.
The star added: "It\'s like coming home. It\'s lovely and I\'m having a really nice time. It didn\'t take long to fit back in and there\'s still people here that I\'ve known since I was 14."
