At a pub in Rotherham. I was a really bad waitress and I ended up being demoted to chopping the potatoes and I even got fired from that.

Telesales – having to sell terrible kitchens. I thought, maybe I’m not a good actor because I can’t even convince myself that these kitchens are worth paying for.

I worked in the customer services department of a mobile phone gambling company and it was very depressing, because the people calling up were usually not happy.

And then I tired of waiting tables. It made me feel diminished and sad, but it was a great way to earn a living for a while.

My mum [the actor, Sally Dynevor] in so many ways. She is the real definition of a superwoman to me.

That everything happens for a reason.

So many things. Every headline in the newspaper, global warming … the list goes on.

When I was 17, my friends and I threw a fashion show for a breast cancer charity. Breast cancer is something my mum went through when I was 14, so prevention is very close to my heart. Our singer, who was performing during the fashion show, dropped out at the last minute so I had to step in. It’s on video, and my sister always brings it up.

Every time I go on a plane I feel awful about it. So for me, and everyone in the world, being able to board an electric plane would be really cool.

Silly, loving and, as an Aries, passionate.
