We made soap history tonight with a socially distanced birth!!! We may have been 2 metres apart and on a restaurant floor but I think we totally pulled it off. I have so much love for this cast and crew. Covid-19 & government restrictions aren\'t making it easy for those of us in the entertainment industry right now so I feel extremely lucky to be in a show where we can still make some cracking tele! #savethearts #hollyoaks #soaps (sic)"
