A well-known star from Coronation Street opens up about a health scare where they had difficulty breathing.

As we patiently wait for what's to come, let's take a moment to look back at what's been. Lucy-Jo Hudson, known for her roles as Katy Harris in Coronation Street and Donna-Marie Quinn in Hollyoaks, recently shared her experience with a health scare that left her struggling to breathe. The actress, who was previously in a relationship with I'm A Celebrity's Alan Halsall, opened up about her battle with chronic anaemia and the two blood transfusions she needed to save her life.

Last year, Lucy took to Instagram to share the news with her followers, but it wasn't until her appearance on Good Morning Britain that she went into more detail about her health worries. Initially, she thought her symptoms were due to perimenopause, but after getting tested, she discovered her chronic anaemia. She revealed that it affected not only her body, but also her brain, making it difficult for her to function.

But the brave actress didn't let this health scare stop her from pursuing her passion for acting. In fact, she will be featuring in the upcoming Casualty Christmas special as Adele. While promoting her role on the show, Lucy also stressed the importance of blood donation and how it will be the focus of the Christmas episode. She shared that she had to receive six pints of blood, a significant amount considering the average human body contains around 10 pints.

Lucy's co-star, Barney Walsh, who plays nurse Cam on the show, also expressed the importance of blood donation and the eye-opening experience he had while filming the episode. He shared that blood cannot be manufactured or replaced, making it a precious commodity in the medical world. He also revealed that it can easily be contaminated or depleted, as shown in the episode where Cam struggles to find blood donations on Christmas Day.

As we eagerly wait for the Christmas episode of Casualty, it's important to remember the significance of blood donation and how it can save lives. The episode will not only entertain us, but also educate us on an important issue that often goes unnoticed. So let's all take a moment to appreciate the selfless act of donating blood and the impact it can have on someone's life.
