Alison Hammond found 'Hollyoaks' a lot more "nerve-wracking" than filming live TV.

The roving reporter often shoots live segments on brunch-time show 'This Morning', but she found acting alongside "really good" actors on the Channel 4 soap a lot more daunting.
When asked what is more "nerve-wracking", she replied: "'Hollyoaks', every time.
"Working with other actors and new people who are really good is nerve wracking."
Alison will make a cameo on the soap as herself when she rocks up at the village to present Nikki Sanderson's character Maxine Minniver with a £5,000 cheque, raised by members of the public on a crowd funding page, after Maxine rang up 'This Morning' and claimed she is terminally ill.
And while she was a bit nervous, Alison had such a good time on set with Nikki, Jacob Roberts (Damon Kinsella) and Niamh Blackshaw (Juliet Quinn).
She said: "They put me so at ease and made me feel really comfortable. We were laughing the whole time, we were like naughty school children.
"I enjoyed actually getting down and doing my scenes. I loved working with a big crew and working alongside Nikki and Jacob - it's been a treat."
The former 'Big Brother' star is no stranger to soap acting, having had a few stints in BBC daytime show 'Doctors', and admits she records her lines on her phone to try to learn them.
She said: "The only way I can learn lines is if I record it on my phone and then play it back to myself - I play it before I go to sleep and by the morning it's basically in there."
