Natalie Cassidy: 'My heart is in elderly care'

Natalie Cassidy joined Anita Rani in the Woman's Hour studio on Friday.

Best known for playing Sonia Fowler in the BBC soap EastEnders, Natalie has now returned to the classroom to study Health and Social Care.

Inspired by supporting her dad through end-of-life care at home, Natalie has enrolled as a student to study towards a Level 3 qualification, with the aim of becoming a professional carer.

She told Anita about her new studies which are also documented in her new BBC series, Natalie Cassidy: Caring Together.

You can listen to the full interview on BBC Sounds - it's the Woman's Hour episode from 22 May.
