The cast will follow all safety precautions to make sure they don’t spread Covid-19

She said: “We are still shooting – we stood down in March as they were no safety procedures in place. 

“We returned in May and our strict procedures are safe – we have social distancing and masks. Everyone is glad to be on set so we will continue. It is so crucial that people have something familiar and it’s escapism. Something you can rely to be there.

“Soaps are invaluable – all of them. We’re all there making sure viewers have that place to escape to for a night. We are shooting, that will continue, touch wood!”
