Joining the BBC One period drama for the current fourth series, the 25-year-old actress couldn't even go to the toilet on her own whilst filming at Nonnatus House, because she's convinced there's ghosts there.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper she explained: "I can't go in there alone.

"When you go in you get this strange feeling that you're not alone. It's so spooky and surreal."

Playing Barbara Gilbert in the show, she admits she's not the only one who's noticed the strange atmosphere, with other cast and crew hearing voices in parts of the building, located in Surrey, south east England.

"The props guys told me they heard voices in the attic room when there was no one else up there. One came down and he was properly white."

However, Charlotte did reveal that she's always felt uneasy when it comes to the supernatural, and feels like her whole life is affected by it.

"Poltergeists really get me. I had a dream last night about a ghost. It's not a question of belief - whether it's true or not it definitely affects my life."

Whilst she admits she's scared on set by the possible ghosts, she admitted she even gets freaked out watching television.

"I find 'Doctor Who' really frightening. I'm a total scaredy cat.

"For example, I've tried to watch 'Breaking Bad' three times but because I watch it late at night it really traumatises me.

"I already have really weird dreams so I don't want to make it any worse."
