Lisa, 45, confessed to : "Twitter is a funny place.
"It can be lovely and it can be really, really horrible.
"I think people forget you are a real person with feelings, so I will probably stay away from it."

Talking about stepping foot in Albert Square for the first time, Lisa told the magazine: "I wasn't nervous - I was absolutely terrified!
"I loved EastEnders as a teenager but I hadn't watched it for a long time.
"And then of course I was like 'Oh My God, I'm in the Vic."
