A Hollyoaks star, who has been a stalwart on the Channel 4 soap for more than a decade, collapsed in a Morrisons supermarket as a shop worker rushed to help her
Hollyoaks star Tamara Wall sparked concern amongst fans as she revealed she collapsed in a Morrisons supermarket store earlier this week.
The soap star, 47, posted a photo of herself smiling while stood next to a supermarket worker to praise him as she rushed to her aid during her time of need. As she shared the selfie on Instagram, Tamara gushed over the help she’d received and revealed her medical woes.
She wrote in the caption: “Dear @morrisons I need you to know how amazing your staff in Warrington are!! This guy in particularly was my actual hero when I collapsed in their store, I cannot give enough thanks to all the staff for being so unbelievable lovely ! #morrisons #love”. The supermarket worker then responded to Tamara’s post in the comments as he wrote: “it was my pleasure @tamarawall13 and I’m glad your ok”.
Meanwhile, concerned fans rushed to the comments to ask Tamara if she was OK. One said: “Hope you’re okay and I’m glad someone was there to help!” Another added: “Oh Tam. I hope you’re ok xxx”.
“Hope you’re okay and I’m glad someone was there to help!,” a second wrote while Jessamy Stoddart, who plays Liberty Savage on the soap, wrote: “Oh Tam. I hope you’re ok xxx”.
Meanwhile actress Gemma Bissix, who plays Clare Devine in Hollyoaks, praised Tamara for returning to work so soon after the incident. She wrote in one comment: “Yayyyyy you went back!!! Thank you to all at Morrisons Warrington for looking after my sis!!!,” followed by two green heart emojis.
She added in a separate comment: “Also you are my HERO… coming into work the next day filming a full day of scenes!!! Sick day? What sick day? x”.
Tamara is best known for her role on Hollyoaks, which she undertook in 2013. She was left devastated in 2023 when soap bosses announced her character was set to be axed.
Speaking to OK! magazine at the time, she said: “It’s absolutely devastating. When I got told, I bawled my eyes out for three days, I was so upset – it’s been the best time of my life.
“It wasn’t my decision, but I understand. It’s the name of the game, and Grace was going to get her comeuppance at some point. In the end, she probably deserved it. But I’m sure she’ll find her way out eventually, she’ll be back.”
Grace’s Hollyoaks exit was initially intended to be permanent, but Tamara reprised the role after the soap underwent leadership changes. And, in 2024, Tamara was signed back onto the cast list.
And that wasn’t all for the soap as Grace’s sister Clare Devine made a bombshell return to Hollyoaks after her character was killed off. Tamara gushed over Clare’s comeback as it marked the first time the sisters are on-screen together.
Last month, Tamara shared a series of photos of herself alongside Gemma and captioned the post: “FINALLY THIS IS HAPPENING!!!!! Where do I even begin ….. to say I was excited when I heard @gbissix was coming back is an understatement!! In fact I cried down the phone when she told me !!!
“I’ve been honoured to have had this gorgeous, incredible, talented , funny and unbelievably loving woman in my life for close to 12 years and to say I love her doesn’t do it enough justice ….. but she knows exactly what she means to me ! Finally after all this time we actually get to work together!
“And when I say work I mean we’re basically playing best friend dress up all day , everyday working with Gemma is such a dream and I literally can’t wait for you guys to see what we’ve been up to! I’ve always loved my job but now it’s been made even better !!!!! So watch this space cause sisters are doing it for themselves !!!”
