Janecame up with the idea of having me as a double for her character, Bernie Winter. She suggested it to one of the writers and he came up with this storyline where Bernie bumps into her doppelganger. Fern is a chancer. She will take advantage of anyone and she offers Bernie £200 to attend a speed awareness course pretending to be her. It’s such fu...
I was sitting there the other day, minding my own business, and Kate Ford who plays Tracy Barlow came in and gave me a big grin. People are so friendly there. I didn’t think too much of it and waved back. Then she blew kisses at me, which I thought was a bit much, because I’d never even been introduced to her! She walked out of the room and then ca...
Sometimes I’ve seen pictures of Jane in magazines and out of the corner of my eye I’ve thought it was me. If you put us side by side, we don’t look identical, but there’s something – it’s very strange!
I did a year as Debs Brownlow, so it was quite strange being on the cobbles again. I worked behind the bar of the Rovers Return and had a job in the hairdressers for a bit too. It was 20-odd years ago, but it really doesn’t feel it.
I did Emmerdalefor a little while in 2019, I was in Family Affairs for quite a long time and I was in Brookside for years, so soap isn’t an alien world to me. The only one I haven’t been in is EastEndersand the law of the universe dictates I never will be, as it’s only 15 minutes from where I live!
I played Patricia Farnham. We were the show’s yuppies. A lot of people thought we were stuck-up and I think we were, I don’t quite know why we were living there frankly! When I auditioned with Steven Pinder, who played my husband Max, our scene was all about whether we were going to get a satellite dish, which at the time was the newest, fanciest t...
My career was pretty good before. I’d done a lot of theatre, including a year in the West End, and I’d done quite a lot of telly, including Blackadder. But after Brookside I was suddenly recognised all over the place.
My partner was in a restaurant recently and he brought me back a wine bottle. It was called ‘Bob short for Kate.’ I put a picture on Twitter and the winemaker contacted me from New Zealand. He’d named it after his sister who had sadly died. She was always called Bob, because her name was Kate.
Until recently, I had a child at home but I dropped him off at university, so I’ve no idea what I’m going to do with myself. When we left him in his rooms, I couldn’t stop crying. I’m sure I’ll get used to it but he’s my only child so it’s just awful! Otherwise, I enjoy reading, going to the cinema and stomping around Hampstead Heath but I like wor...
