Natalie Cassidy has hit out at shoppers for leaning over her "every time" she goes out to buy food.

The 'EastEnders' actor has pleaded with people to "stop rushing" around while out and about during the coronavirus pandemic, because it is "driving [her] mad" being walked into by those desperate to grab groceries from the supermarket shelves.
She wrote on Instagram: "Be kind when you’re out shopping and stop rushing because it’s driving me mad being walked into or leaned over every bloody time I go out. I’m really not going to take the 87 plums on the shelf, just wait patiently 2 metres away from me. And others. Cheers. (sic)"
The 37-year-old star - who is currently on a short break from playing NHS nurse Sonia Fowler on the BBC One soap - has also urged people to "keep going" amid the latest national lockdown, and admitted she is thinking of all the doctors and nurses who are dealing with the health crisis, as well as people who have lost loved ones.
She added: "Ready for another day with my girls. The data we receive each day from the news is so upsetting. I just wanted to say I’m thinking of everyone who has lost someone and thinking of the people who’s loved ones are in hospital. I’m thinking of people on their own and the Drs and nurses who are dealing with it each day. It’s very easy to sit and moan about not seeing family or not being able to go to a pub for lunch, not being able to go to your gym or have your nails done. But it’s really not that bad. Keep going, remember how lucky we are. (sic)"
