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!

I'm grateful to be working. The most exciting thing for me is that I never get bored - I've done comedy, drama, musical theatre and now Shakespeare.

My brother is the lead singer of The Torn, and my parents are in a country duo.

I prefer theatre to television - you get to feel the love.

I suffer a lot with nerves and stage fright.

I'm such a weirdo. I'm animal-mad, so my ideal date would probably be something involving going to see animals.

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.
