“I have never met such generous, kind, down to earth, hardworking and talented people in my life,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.
“I will always see you more like a family to me, as thats what you became. Thankyou for always being there for me and for making every single day truly special.”
She also paid tribute to June Brown, who was one of the first stars to join the soap after it made it’s debut in 1985 as the chainsmoking gossip, Dot Cotton.
The actress wrote: “It was such an honour playing the granddaughter of legend Dot Cotton.
“Although she could be so MEAN, she had steel, loyalty and so much heart. I will always love Dotty and never for a second, did I take playing her for granted.”
