EastEnders' Heather Trott actress Cheryl Fergison breaks down in tears at food bank

Cheryl Fergison, who played Heather Trott in EastEnders, has broken down in tears at a food bank.

The actress visited the Trussell Trust food bank in Peckham, south London, to see the work they do and to meet some of the people who use the service.

Fergison was visibly moved by what she saw and heard, and she broke down in tears as she spoke to one woman who had to use the food bank because she couldn't afford to feed her children.

Fergison said that she was "heartbroken" by what she saw, and she urged people to donate to food banks if they can.

"I've never seen anything like it," she said. "It's just heartbreaking. These people are so desperate, and they're so grateful for any help they can get."

The Trussell Trust is a charity that provides food to people in need. The charity has more than 1,200 food banks across the UK, and they gave out more than 1.2 million food parcels last year.

The Trussell Trust says that the number of people using food banks has increased in recent years, and they are now seeing more people who are in work but still struggling to make ends meet.

Fergison's visit to the food bank comes just days after the release of a report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, which found that more than 14 million people in the UK are living in poverty.

The report found that poverty is particularly high among children, with more than 4 million children living in poverty in the UK.

Fergison said that she was "appalled" by the findings of the report, and she called on the government to do more to help people who are struggling.

"This is a national disgrace," she said. "The government needs to do more to help people who are in poverty. They need to increase benefits, and they need to build more affordable homes."
