Leicester actress Parminder Nagra stars in the new six-part ITV medical drama 'Maternal'.

It's about three female doctors returning to frontline medicine after maternity leave, and balancing the intense demands of the NHS and motherhood.

Parminder, who grew up in Leicester, is best known for her roles in 'Bend it like Beckham', 'ER', and 'Blacklist'. She plays paediatric registrar Dr Maryam Afridi in 'Maternal'.

Parminder tells Kelly Hinch how the programme explores motherhood with 'wit, warmth and humour'.
