A HOLLYOAKS star has moaned she's 'skint' despite her role in the Channel 4 soap.
Lucy-Jo Hudson took to social media to share her struggles during the summer holidays while her kids are off school.
The mum-of-two posted a humorous video on Instagram appearing to illustrate her depleting bank balance.
Lucy-Jo could be seen in her car as she captioned the video "mums bank balance during the summer holidays".
The 41-year-old then told her 207k followers: "Anyone else feeling the pinch? and it’s only half way through the 6 week holidays.
"Honestly if the weather was more consistent it would be “Park and Picnics” most of the time…. That simple, that easy and more importantly… affordable!
