Cheryl Fergison, who played Heather Trott in EastEnders, has revealed that she was so strapped for cash that she was reduced to tears after visiting a food bank.

The actress, 57, said that she had been "struggling for a long time" but had been too proud to ask for help.

However, after being made redundant from her job as a cleaner, she was forced to turn to a food bank for help.

"I was so embarrassed," she said. "I felt like a failure. But the people at the food bank were so kind and understanding."

Cheryl said that she was grateful for the help she received from the food bank, but that she was determined to get back on her feet.

"I'm not going to give up," she said. "I'm going to keep fighting until I find a new job."

Cheryl's story is a reminder that anyone can fall on hard times, and that there is no shame in asking for help.

If you are struggling financially, there are a number of organisations that can help you, including food banks, charities, and the government.
