Amanda Redman returned to East Grinstead Burns Hospital for \'The Good Karma Hospital\' research.
The 62-year-old actress - who was treated at the institution as a toddler when she suffered 75 per cent burns - visited with writer Dan Sefton as they prepared for an acid-attack storyline on the upcoming series of the ITV show.
According to The Sun newspaper\'s Bizarre TV column, Amanda\'s character Dr. Lydia Fonseca helps the victim in an emotional scene.
She said: "There were bits of hair and scalp falling away. It was quite upsetting."
The latest series of \'The Good Karma Hospital\' was originally set to air in 2019, but Sefton previously revealed the show was being delayed due to "scheduling".
Speaking in October last year, he explained: "It\'s in the can, and I think will be transmitted early next year. We\'ve had it ready for quite a long time, and I think ITV\'s scheduling - they had a lot of dramas to get out, and they wanted to put it out at the right time, so a lot of them are queuing up for the winter slots, so we had to wait our turn.
"But it\'s fine and we\'re very proud of the season that\'s coming, I think ITV are very happy with it as well. I think it\'s a good piece of work."
Amanda was just 18-months-old when she accidentally tipped soup over herself, leaving her hospitalised for four years as a result of the injuries.
She previously revealed: "I was covered with burns and it took a long time to recover ... I\'ve had a lot of operations over the years.
As a toddler, Amanda was only allowed to leave the hospital on birthdays - and briefly over Christmas - but she "didn\'t know any different".
She explained: "My earliest memories are in hospital. But I didn\'t know any different so it didn\'t bother me."
