The 27-year-old actress - who plays Lisa Loveday on the Channel 4 soap 'Hollyoaks' - revealed that if she won the lottery she would start an organisation which aids children in need in Nigeria, which is where her parents are from.

Speaking in Closer magazine, she said: "If I won the lottery I would open a charity. My parents are from Nigeria and so it would be amazing to help underprivileged kids there."

The former 'X Factor' star also admitted that she'd treat herself to a designer bag and holiday, as well as buying her parents a new home.

She added: "I'd also book a beautiful holiday to the Maldives with my family and treat my parents to a big house. I'm a sucker for designer handbags, so maybe I'd splurge on a Louis Vuitton bag for myself too. "

Although Rachel - who has daughter Lillian with her husband Jason Finegan - would indulge in a luxury holiday to the Maldives, she confessed she's not adverse to a cheaper break and loves flying on budget airlines to visit her European friends.

She said: "I mix budget and blow-the budget-breaks. My husband and I have quite a lot of friends in Europe, so we'll often visit them in places like Holland or Germany, and you can get such cheap easyJet flights. "

However, the soap star added she does "love" a more expensive getaway such as Bali or Los Angeles.

She said: "That said, I do love a luxury holiday - we went to Bali for our honeymoon, but we felt that was so worth it because it was a special occasion. We're also going to LA this summer."
