It comes as the star of the classic show, Dani Harmer, who is now 31, announced that she is self-isolating after experiencing symptoms of the Covid-19 virus on March 12.
The actress, who now runs acting school The Dani Harmer Academy, shared her disappointment that she couldn’t go back to work because of the coronavirus symptoms.
Dani, who lives in Bracknell, tweeted: ‘Absolutely gutted to not be going to the Dani Harmer Academy this morning but unfortunately after showing symptoms I have been in self isolation since Thursday evening!
‘Started to feel slightly better but I will never risk the health of others! So for the next 5 days I’ll be in my bedroom.’
