Speaking on the morning show, she added: “There’s not been [any coronavirus cases] among the cast or the crew I don’t think yet.

“We’re in touch with each other. We have a girls’ WhatsApp group, which is really good because we all tell each other what we’re up to and what to watch, and what exercise things to do.

“It’s good fun and it’s really nice to keep in touch.

“I’ve got a little garden. I’m not very good at gardening, I’m really not. But I would love to have a go, so that’s my mission this week. To get a compost heap going and start growing a few things.

“I think it’ll be really, really good.

“I’m learning bit by bit, but I need to watch a few gardening programmes before I get going.

“I will speak to my on-screen sister Connie Hyde, who is a fabulous gardener, so I need a few tips from her.”
