Amy Downham joins the cast of Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks this week as bohemian new teacher Jen Gilmore. Tilly is swept off her feet by the fiery newcomer, but is shocked when she discovers who Jen really is.

> Catch up with Hollyoaks on 4OD.

We caught up with Amy to find out what she likes to watch to relax between filming...

TV show to cheer you up:

"Anything that makes my sides hurt from laughing! I love Would I Lie to You or a good bit of stand-up like Michael McIntyre or Lee Mack."

TV show to watch before going to sleep:

"I love a good drama just before I sleep, like a bedtime story! Recent favourites have been Downton Abbey, Birdsong and White Heat."

Favourite “guilty pleasure” TV show:

"No telling ok?! For my sins it’s Made in Chelsea... I’m actually pretty excited about the next episode."

TV show that reminds you of your childhood:

"I didn’t have TV until I was 18 so I was deprived of the joys of childhood TV! I’m a dab hand at arts and crafts though!"

TV show that reminds you of being a teenager:

"Still no TV... but we had neighbours who did! Every Thursday night we’d go over and watch Strange but True, a pretty dire supernatural documentary, but back then I loved it!"
