My dad lost his hearing in the last 18 months of his life, and as a result, I witnessed first-hand the effect that this can have on a family.
'Hollyoaks' really is such a great place to work, and there was nothing bad whatsoever about my time there. I loved my job, I loved everybody that I worked with, and I was blessed with great story lines.
I feel that Britain is a rather self-deprecating nation: you're almost considered egotistical to say you're good at anything.
I like to think my accent isn't strong enough, but it's funny: I get people coming up to me in America and saying I sound like Mel B. She's from Leeds. They just hear a British accent and probably can't quite work it out.
I'm beyond excited to join the cast of 'Switched At Birth' and to be part of such a great show on a great network.
There are plenty of good drama schools and academies helping children and young people to learn to sing, dance, and act.
