The actress, who plays Louise Summers on the Channel 4 series, says she is her own biggest critic.

Tough critic: Roxanne McKee, in this week's issue of Look magazine, says she battles insecurities over her body image

Roxanne appears in this week's Look magazine

She told Look magazine: "I criticise myself an awful lot. I do worry to the point that I don't think it's very healthy. I'm always picking my flaws.

'It's a terrible anxiety I have. I wish I could pretend nothing fazes me but it does.

The actress also hinted her time on Hollyoaks is nearing an end.

She revealed: 'I'm not going to be there forever. I don't mind the long hours but I'll have been doing that for four years in October when my contract ends.'

Asked if she has her sights set on Hollywood, she replied: 'I don't see why not. I think you should aim for the stars - and hopefully avoid ending up in the clouds!'

Onscreen, Roxanne's character Louise is currently facing a difficult time - she spent time in prison after being falsely charged with her husband's murder.

Her boyfriend Warren - the real murderer - managed to get her released, but the experience has left her less trusting.
