I still credit Adrian Lester with being one of my biggest influences.

I like TV on demand and Cheetos.

I don't see myself as famous at all so I'm continuing my life as normal.

I grew up in London. My parents and I lived in West Norwood, then we moved to Norbury, and I went to the Brit School. I'm a South London girl at heart.

I can remember hearing the theme tune to Dallas when I was supposed to be in bed. I would sneak down and try to watch it through the banisters. My mum loved that show.

I originally wanted to be a pop star. I wanted to be Kylie Minogue. My dad thought that was a very silly ambition and introduced me to drama classes. Once I became fixated on that, there was no stopping me.

It often looks like an actor's had a big break out of nowhere, but in reality, they've been working their way up, little by little, for a while.
