With Cait Fitton actually returning to filming back in April, she’s managed to keep Lauren’s return a secret for quite some time.
In fact, she even had an usual way of transporting herself into work. This meant that she would remain unnoticed by fans.
Speaking to Entertainment Daily! and other media during a recent interview, Cait shared: “I had to sneak into the building, sneak out of the building, and I was getting lifts by Cal (Calum Lill) but then I was having to get in the boot to make sure I wasn’t been seen.
“Then people would be at the front getting selfies and I would be in the boot… It was a bit chaotic. It was a massive game of Twister in that boot.”
She also detailed how she had to cover herself up in a big, black coat and sunglasses when filming on location. Fortunately she wasn’t seen, making her big reveal even more surprising!
