ITV actress Paige Sandhu opened up about her own anxieties while filming Emmerdale as the final fate of killer Meena Jutla comes to a head on the hit soap series.
The actress appeared on ITV's Lorraine on Thursday morning, and shared her mental health struggles with stand-in host Christine Lampard.
Host Christine said: "You've spoken previously about having anxiety issues, like many of us do, and you've managed that incredibly well given the type of show you are filming right now."

Paige replied: "I feel like I am grateful for those times when I did struggle with anxiety because it really taught me to take care of myself.
"I learned that I needed to take care of my mental and emotional health to do my job well, to have a happy life.
"And so now I have really good coping mechanisms, I know what to do if I am ever feeling anxious, and it just makes everything a lot better."
Lots of fans of Emmerdale, and most specifically Paige herself, shared their support for the actress on social media, with one Twitter user writing: "i love paige sandhu so much #lorraine"
Another said: "#Lorraine Paige should have her own drama as a female version of Dexter."
And a third wrote: "Great interview @paige_sandhu on #lorraine looking forward to week of @emmerdale action."
Before her segment, people were clamouring for Paige to take to their screens, writing: "#Lorraine FFS just want Paige", and "where is Dame Paige Sandhu #Lorraine."
ITV's Lorraine resumes on Friday, April 15 at 9am, and you can watch Paige in Emmerdale on Thursday, April 14 at 7:30pm.
