"Starting back at work tomorrow after having six weeks off," she wrote. "Feeling so grateful to have had the most amazing summer and grateful to be going back to work, but also feeling anxious too which is completely fine and normal.

"Having time off work is scary, I worry that I won't remember what to do when I go back but hopefully once I get back in rehearsals the excitement will kick in and the anxiety will slowly go away!"
