I love a bit of glamour - who doesn't? - but I probably wouldn't be able to pull it off.

Being a mum is something that's never bothered me too much. I have never felt a strong need to have children, but I am not averse to it either.

It's very hard to dramatise something factual and not make it look overdone, but also not to make it look so under-dramatised that it's dull.

My dad's so likeable, you wouldn't feel in competition with him. If any boyfriends have ever felt that, they're long gone.

I just love doing costume dramas; I am very lucky, as I see myself as a part-time time traveller.
