Grey's Anatomy star Chandra Wilson has revealed that she can struggle to sometimes switch off after filming "really emotional" scenes.

The actress has played the role of Miranda Bailey in the hit series since its debut in 2005, taking on some pretty hard-hitting storylines in the process.

One recent and particularly heartbreaking one saw the character learn that she had suffered a miscarriage at work, and the actress has opened up to the Radio Times about the aftermath of filming such moments.

"One thing I have discovered as an actor, especially with really emotional things that we have to do on the show, is that your body doesn't know the difference your body doesn't know that you are acting, so it does sometimes take a minute to calm your body down and tell it, 'no, we were just pretending'," she said.

Last year, meanwhile, Wilson addressed her future as Bailey on the show, saying she wanted to play the character "until the wheels come off".

"I always say until the wheels come off, I'll be there," she said. "I think there have been so many versions of when the show would end and how the show will end that there isn't a version at this point. I keep showing up when they call me and tell me that we're doing another one!"

The star added: "I would love to see the end of her I would love to see the completion of that arc, not only as a character, but with the show, but everything is dictated by story, as always but what a great story to be able to tell that I was a starter and a finisher, that's a very cool story."

Grey's Anatomy season 17 airs on ABC in the US. It airs on Sky Witness in the UK with selected episodes also available on NOW TV.
