I think that period dramas just need zombies.

When people feel good, they look good.

Mum would have a panic attack if she had to stand up and give a speech around a table.

I don't like seeing celebs looking too skinny, I love it when they look healthy and comfortable in their bodies and embrace their curves.

My first paid role was my first job out of drama school, which was Just William. It was a BBC TV show. I played Ethel.

I think I'm up for not trying to play a literary heroine. I think I'd rather just do someone that has just been created in a script, rather than in a book that everyone knows and loves. The difficulty with it and the reason these characters are so loved is that every woman and man that reads it understands it in a different way. They're so relatable, but different aspects will be drawn from different people.
