She said: “This is the scariest part for me, I am a very private person and I am putting myself out there, which is what I am most nervous about.

“Viewers are going to see a different person to the person they think I am! I am very different. That can be worrying.

“They might decide they don’t like me as much as Eileen!”

She also added: “It will be interesting for them – and for me as well – for people to see me outside of my character, but they’ll get a glimpse of the real Sue in a very strange situation.”
