“I can’t deal with any type of bugs,” she laughs. “My legs were like jelly, I couldn’t walk. I was petrified! It was my worst nightmare, I don’t know how I did it. You’d never know what was going on behind the scenes – it was hell!” Stephanie and Joe are not officially engaged yet, but from what she tells us – that they’ve already “planned the wedding and everything we want” – a trip down the aisle might not be far off, if she can find the time between filming and looking after Caben.
While she started acting professionally as a baby-faced seven-year-old, she’s of course best known as Hollyoaks’ Sinead O’Connor, who she played from 2010 to 2019, with a three-year break in the middle. “When I was in that bad phase, I was suicidal,” she says. “I didn’t see a way out. That’s why I love what I do now, because I can show people that if I can do it, they can too. I can say, ‘This is where I was, and this is what happened, and this is where I am now.’ I can help them through their journey – it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
“I was in Hollyoaks for 10 years, but while I was working, I never got to see Caben,” she says. “Those early years are so precious and I thought, ‘He needs his mum, I need to be there,’ so I took three or four years out. “I looked at the brief and thought, ‘This is meant to be, this is mine,’” she laughs. “I did a self tape and said, ‘I’m making this the best self tape ever.’ So my mum, my best mate Cath and Joe all got involved. I got all dressed up and acted out each scene as if I was filming it.
“I believe everything we go through is preparing us for something,” she says. “Because I went on that journey of self love and self worth, I now know I’m a damn good actress – I never had that self belief before. I’m really proud of myself, I’m really proud of Caben, and I’m proud of me and Joe and what we’ve built together as a family.
“I feel sorry for her, I feel sad for her. I really relate to her. It gave me that extra push to want to play her, because I have that connection with her.
