However Rebecca has revealed that there are no plans for her to reprise her role as Vicki in Waterloo Road.
Speaking to OK! she revealed that although she’s not going to be a part of the new Waterloo Road series, she can’t wait to see it return.
She said: “I can’t wait for it. Even before I was in Waterloo Road, it was one of my favourite shows.
“I remember sitting there thinking, ‘Oh I’d love to be in this!’ So when I got a role it was just incredible.”
She added: “I’m so glad it’s coming back. It’s such a staple, primetime TV and I’m really looking forward to watching.”
