Appearing in 'Legally Blonde' has helped me find my inner girl, although at the beginning the director was constantly telling me off for sitting like a boy, with my legs apart, while wearing a cocktail dress and heels!

Every girl wants to play Bridget Jones.

I swore on screen when I got the Olivier for 'Legally Blonde,' I was so surprised. Awards where the public vote mean a lot. I'm a big Twitter fan and like talking to people who support me.

Not having gone to drama school, I always feel like a bit of a fraud, but so far it looks as though I've not been found out.

I suffer a lot with nerves and stage fright.

People can never work out where they know me from. They just come up and chat with me like mates.

I'm always wearing Spanx, eating ice cream and feeling a bit lonely.
