“I just spoke to my little girl on the phone and I literally can’t believe she’s going to be five next month but I just love the age that she’s at.

“She was like, she’s just so cute, she was like ‘mummy, I love you, are you okay?’ She’s just so sweet.”

Helen continued: “But yeah, hopefully the AA come soon.”

Later Helen posted an update. Alongside the picture of the AA van, she wrote: “So, car doesn’t look good but amazing service from @theaa_uk.

“I was two hours away from dropping off the PPE and Darren from @theaa_uk is travelling all the way to drop the PPE off @scrubs4heros. Thank you.”

“I’m trying to work out when I can go back. I don’t know when it’ll be. It could be next year but I’m not sure.

“It depends on my girls. My youngest is 16 months. Obviously when you’re a mum your kids come first. So it’s about finding the right time to do things. Being on a soap means you have a pretty busy schedule.”
