She immediately burst onto the set with her bubbly nature as she greeted host Stephen Mulhern and instantly left him in hysterics with tales of her work at a sausage factory.
Despite the pair sharing a series of laughs, the mood quickly changed when she was left emotional as she discussed her family.
The player spoke about her marriage to hubby Rob, who worked at the same sausage factory as her, as well as their two year old daughter and her step-son.
As a photograph of the family flashed up on the screen, Stephen said: "Aww, you look a lovely family!";

Players on the show live with one another in a hotel during the recording of the series and as such are away from their families back at home.
Stephen then quipped that she would be able to return home and see her husband tonight before she giggled as she revealed: "I won't, he'll be at work!"
Alicia's game was somewhat of a rollercoaster as she knocked out many red options early on.
With her board looking bleak, she opted to make an offer with the Banker for her box at £4,150.
As the game continued, she was left gutted as she realised she would have been offered £6,500 if she'd have hung on until the next round before more than £15,000 was offered as the huge £50,000 remained in play with three boxes yet to be uncovered.
Her heartbreak continued when, with two red offers left in play, the Banker offered up the most amount of money EVER in the new reboot at £31,000.
When the game drew to a close, Alicia's box was revealed to contain the £50,000 as she was left speechless before insisting she "wasn't sad".
