Waterloo Road was THE show back in the day and if you were as big a fan as us, you will probably recognise quite a few of the frankly iconic students and teachers moving on to bigger and better things in the acting world. Does the name Phoebe Dynevor ring a bell? What about Adam Thomas? Denise Welch?
If they do, then you'll probably remember Chelsee Healey, who was one of the show's original cast members and played long-running character Janeece Bryant.
Despite originally appearing on the show as a bully, Janeece Bryant soon became one of the show's most loveable characters, even if she did have a knack for getting into trouble.
After a few problematic relationships as a student, including one with fake supply teacher Wilson Bingham, Janeece fell pregnant and, despite not feeling able to cope as a mother, became determined to be the best mother to baby Cheryl.
Janeece eventually left Waterloo Road (having returned to work as the secretary) for Ibiza, where she planned to raise Cheryl.
Now that it's been confirmed that the new series of Waterloo Road will be returning on January 3 2023, here's to hoping Chelsee will be making a comeback too.
Chelsee Healey's daughter
But while we know all about Janeece's dramatic life, what exactly has actress Chelsee Healey been up to?
Well much like Janeece, Chelsee has become a mum.
In August 2017, Chelsee gave birth to her daughter Coco, who she shares with Jack Malloy, Jack was jailed for twelve months for dangerous driving in November 2015 and the couple have since split.
One month after Coco was born, Chelsee shared the cutest photo of her daughter drinking a bottle of milk and confirmed she is called Coco Valentine Healey Molloy.
Alongside the photo Chelsee wrote, '"My life my world what was life without you, you are loved beyond words! The baby girl who has changed my life forever for the better. Coco Valentine Healey Molloy".
Was Chelsee Healey on Strictly Come Dancing?
Chelsee appeared on the ninth series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2011 and was partnered with Pasha Kovalev during his first year on the show.
Chelsee ultimately finished as runner-up losing the glitter ball trophy to McFly's Harry Judd.
Her particularly memorable performance was during Movie Night, which served as the show's quarter final, when she dressed up as Princess Fiona and Pasha as Shrek to perform a Jive to I'm A Believer. She did get 49 though (boo Craig) so it was ultimately worth it.
Was Chelsee Healey on Celebs Go Dating?
Chelsee appeared on the sixth series of Celebs Go Dating in 2019 alongside Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks.

Will Chelsee Healey return to Waterloo Road?
At the moment it is all rumours when it comes to Chelsee making an appearance in 2023. As it stands, according to her Instagram she is still playing the role of Goldie McQueen on Hollyoaks.
However a source told The Sun, "Chelsee rose to fame on Waterloo Road so it holds a huge place in her heart. She’s chatting to them about what she can do to be part of the reboot, but she won’t be quitting Hollyoaks.
"She's a well-loved character so bosses are keen to give her the time off she needs so she can film the BBC show."
Was Chelsee Healey on Come Dine with Me?
Chelsee is clearly no stranger to a reality TV show having also appeared in a special celebrity episode of Come Dine with Me in 2012.
Trying to host a special Carribean-themed Christmas party, Chelsee ends up storming out of dinner and has to be coaxed back by The X Factor star Marcus Collins. Very a la Janeece in Waterloo Road...
