Her brother Keanu came to the rescue and offered her a space to stay for a few weeks.

Actress Claire Norris previously opened up about why Bernie decided to flee Walford.

“I think that Bernie is overwhelmed with everything and definitely needs some time away to clear her head,” she told Digital Spy.

“She needs a break. I think it will do her good to get away and take care of herself and the baby for a bit. That’s her number one priority.
