Doctors star Charlie Clemmow has said that her character's current bullying storyline is "close to her heart".
Clemmow plays Imogen Hollins, who is currently facing taunts from colleague Lauren Porter while working at The Mill Health Centre.
In an interview with the Daily Star Sunday, Clemmow said: "The storyline is close to my heart because I was on the end of some nasty bulling at secondary school.
"But thankfully it didn't become too serious because I spoke out and my parents got involved to stop it before it escalated.
"I hope this storyline will show bullying victims they don't need to suffer in silence."
