Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey “can’t sleep without” comfort blanket

The former Waterloo Road star insists she is actually a "very insecure person"

Chelsee Healey cannot sleep without her comfort blanket.

The Hollyoaks actress – who plays Goldie McQueen in the Channel 4 soap – has had the object since she was a baby, and has even named the material Nicola.

She said: “People would be shocked to know that I have a comfort blanket that I’ve had since I was a baby, and I can’t sleep without it.

“I’ve called her Nicola.”

She said: “Also, while I know that I come across as a big poser on Instagram, I’m actually a very insecure person.”

She added to Inside Soap magazine: “I’d love to compete on Dancing on Ice.

“It’s all about performing, and that’s what I love to do.
