After Skins I became mildly famous, which was a bit of a disaster.

I manage to live pretty normally.

As you're growing up, it's odd, because directors don't expect you to grow up. They think you'll be young forever, but as an actor, there is an awkward period when you're too young for old or too old for young, and it can be an odd time.

It's always a bit overwhelming when you arrive on set and everyone's new, but you soon become a big family. I find the hardest thing about acting is that you have to say goodbye to everyone at the end of a shoot.

Occasionally people will look at me and do a double take and theyll look at me like theyre trying to think where they know me from.

I've got a really great family round me, two sisters and an older brother and my mum and dad. Everybody's equal.

Other people's success spurs me on to do well and gives me motivation.
