Charlotte Bellamy not afraid of flames
Tuesday, 3 November 2009
Pregnant 'Emmerdale' actress Charlotte Bellamy was "relaxed" the entire way through filming dangerous scenes of a fire.
Charlotte - who plays vicar's wife Laurel Thomas in the ITV1 soap - was heavily pregnant when she shot the terrifying scenes of being locked inside a burning church, but says the rest of the cast were more concerned than she was.
She said: "I was fine - I treated it like a yoga class.
"I'm so relaxed about things like that. Everyone else has been more worried about my condition than I have!"
Laurel will be seen caught up in the blaze after scheming Sally (Sian Reeves) locks Laurel in as part of her plan to claim vicar Ashley (John Middleton) for herself.
Charlotte revealed: "Laurel's horrified. It's an awful feeling, to be trapped inside like that with no way of getting out.
"It's made even worse by the fact it's in a church - you can't see properly out of the windows."
But while Laurel is caught up in terrible circumstances, Charlotte - who gave birth to daughter Teddie Boo Florence on October 20 - reveals that a good night's sleep helped her cope with the strain of filming while pregnant.
She said: "I had to be quite disciplined about things, and went straight home to bed most days after filming. A good night's sleep always helps."
