Emmerdale star Chelsea Halfpenny feels "a lot of responsibility" about her teenage pregnancy storyline.
Viewers this week saw Halfpenny's character Amy Wyatt decide to keep the baby she is expecting with Cain Dingle following their one-night stand.
Halfpenny told the Daily Star that she felt a lot of pressure to tackle the "sensitive subject" of teenage pregnancy, especially since she herself came from these circumstances.
"My mum had me when she was a teenager so I know it's a sensitive subject," she said. "I'm not here to judge, but to reflect what happens. After all, despite the fact mum was 19 when I was born I've had a great life."
She said she felt a lot of responsibility to portray the teen pregnancy story well because it was faced by so many young people.
"I know I can make the audience believe everything Amy is going through... She's a bit misunderstood, but she's very honest and doesn't care what she says to people."
