Rita Simons has revealed that she had to ask a co-star for help after she became stuck in a bathroom while naked.The embarrassing incident occurred while the former EastEnders star, 46, was filming her TV comeback as part of the reality series Pilgrimage, which sees a group of celebrities of different faiths trekking together on a historical pilgrimage.The trek proved somewhat challenging for Rita, whose scoliosis can cause pain and mobility issues.
It was in a hostel along the pilgrimage route that the actress became stuck in a toilet and had to ask her co-star Su Pollard for help.
Speaking to The Sun's TV Mag, Rita said: "One night we got back to our hostel and I was naked in the bathroom with Su, as you are, and I just remember looking in the mirror and I was like, crack: ‘Oh Su, I’m stuck.’ I was stuck on the side.

It hurts a lot of the time." Rita added that while this made the trek rather difficult at times, the crew joining them were "amazing" and would stop to help her if necessary.
