Speaking of her first day, Lucker told DS: "I'm so lucky to be working with [Jake Wood, who plays Max]. He's such a brilliant, standout actor. When I got there on the first day, we sat down and had a coffee. He was the one who gave me the tour of the Square and showed me where everything was."
She added: "A lot of my first scenes were me driving. I'd only passed my driving test four weeks before I started, so I was there rocking around the Square in this five-and-a-half-litre Mercedes. I was having palpitations, worrying I'd drive into The Vic or over Jake."
Here, DS takes a brief look behind the scenes of her first day on set.
