Tina Hobley 'loves being back at Holby'

Holby City star Tina Hobley has revealed that she loves being back on set following maternity leave.

The actress, who gave birth to baby boy Orson in March, admitted that she can get away with not looking her best because her character Chrissie Williams has also recently given birth.

She told The Mirror: "I love being back at Holby. There's very little make-up going on with Chrissie at the moment and my hair's a bit greasy. I love it because I'm just playing how I really feel!

"Being pregnant on screen and in real life was quite fun too - that's why I'd like to use Orson as my baby on set. It's not because I want him to be a child star. I just like him with me as much as possible!"

She added: "I don't think it's ever particularly easy going back to work after maternity leave. It's not so much of a wrench but more of a struggle. You have to be very organised - the whole house does."
