Emma Barton in EastEnders
Before EastEnders stopped production, Emma wasn’t filming as her character Honey Mitchell had left temporarily.
After she discovered her boyfriend Adam was cheating on her with Habiba Ahmed, Honey began battling an eating disorder.
Although she denied she needed help at first, when she realised how much it was affecting her daughter, Janet, Honey decided to leave the Square.
She went to stay with her aunt in order to get herself better and try to improve her mental health.

In real life, Emma took time away from EastEnders to perform in the Strictly Come Dancing tour.
Emma made the final of the 2019 series with her partner Anton du Beke. But they lost out on the trophy to ex-Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher.
The new series of Strictly continues to be up in the air as TV productions struggle to find ways to return to filming due to new social distancing measures.
With dancing being a very up close and personal sport, it remains to be seen how the BBC will get round the restrictions.
EastEnders airs Monday at 8pm and Tuesday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
