'Oaks star Murphy 'told to keep quiet'

Hollyoaks newcomer Sheree Murphy has been ordered to keep quiet when she attends the Grand National tomorrow, according to a report.

The actress is said to have faced a difficult week at the Channel 4 soap after starting to lose her voice while filming scenes as Anita Roy's (Saira Choudhry) long-lost mother Eva.

Murphy will be judging the Matalan Style Competition at the National tomorrow but has apparently been warned to keep her voice down to avoid making the problem worse.

A source told The Mirror: "She has promised to try and stop talking, and definitely no cheering. She's naturally chatty so it's killing her."

The 34-year-old joined Hollyoaks in February and her first scenes will air later this month.
