"So, I went and I ordered Edamame beans which are like little soya beans and they came like peas in a pod, but I didn't realise.
"And I'm with the boss at ITV, and I'm like, 'Yeah, I'm doing this show and doing that show'. Instead of opening the pod, I put soy sauce all over it and started munching on the entire thing."
Leaving her co-stars stunned, she added with a laugh: "Then you're committed aren't you!"
