I get invited to a lot more glamorous parties since Ive been in Downton Abbey, which has made me much more fashion conscious.

Im an ambassador for Medical Detection dogs.

I guess that is my favorite thing - to make people laugh and also to maybe engage them emotionally and touch them somehow in telling the story.

I think I should be a nightclub singer. I love to sing!

I don't like being shouted at.

I can do basics, but I'm not a proper cook. I can do a roast. I can stick a chicken in the oven with vegetables.

I was painfully shy as a child.
