"It's hard to resist the temptation of breaking the rules but they have to be followed," she told The Sun.
"I made a silly mistake. I am truly sorry. I now realise it was stupid and irresponsible.
"The whole COVID thing has definitely taken its toll on everyone. This time I will just have to abide by the rules until it blows over. You have to abide by the rules."

Speaking on the Don't Filter Feelings: Racism and my Children podcast, Chelsee described receiving "the most vile, vile message" on social media about her daughter, which made her "burst out crying".
She added: "There's been another time when she came back from nursery, and she said 'Mummy, I have brown skin. My friends say I'm brown.' My reaction was, 'Yeah, but you're beautiful and brown. Brown is so beautiful.'
"I think she's a little bit too young now to be having the conversation with her, but just so she knows that brown is so beautiful."
Hollyoaks airs on weekdays on Channel 4 and E4.
