Speaking of the dramatic scenes, Daisy said: "When I was first told Amelia was having a baby, I couldn’t believe it because it was a storyline I’d always wanted for my character.
"And then for it to be part of the 50th... I felt really honoured. I was in the show for the big 40th when we did the live episode, but I was only 9. Still being in the show ten years later is just amazing."
Amelia is currently facing a difficult decision as she considers quitting college over difficulties finding childcare for Esther.
