Rebecca Front

While filming the first series of Time Gentlemen Please (2000), Rebecca became pregnant, which meant Al Murray had to write it into the script that her character Vicki became pregnant after a drunken one night stand. She gave birth to daughter Tilly not long after filming stopped.

Maybe there's something in my brain that says: 'If you get rid of those fears, anything could happen.' Perhaps I cling to them like a lucky shirt, because they give me somewhere to deposit all my other fears. So, for example, I can appear on a panel show such as Have I Got News for You (1990) which might terrify other people, but doesn't worry me at all. Just don't ask me to go up in the lift to the 20th floor for the after-show drinks. That I really couldn't do.
