She said: “And it's back to reality. Early starts, dark mornings and sad farewells. “But also to still twinkling lights, massively exciting important stories to tell and who knows what else.
“Hello to 2019!!! Hope everyone has great Monday! #commutetoleeds #kingscross #emmerdale #monday #backtoschool.”
