“I used to sing when I was into local theatre but gave it up to concentrate on dance.”

“With acting, you have to just tell the truth in each moment.”

“There's something refreshing about going into filming and not brushing your hair, letting your toenails chip, drawing darker circles under your eyes.”

“I feel particularly passionate about being a part of 'Rillington Place' because I've never had a job where I've felt so much responsibility and I've had to handle something with so much delicacy, because this story and these people were real.”

“I feel, in drama, you don't need to be fed everything. Even though sometimes when you watch, you want to know what happened and you want to see it, I feel like sometimes it's so much stronger to see the effects that those actions have had.”

“I love characters who can rile an audience so much - it means you've done your job well.”

“Yoga really destresses me.”

“I came off Snapchat. I was done with it... I think I spent too much time on it.”

“I don't speak any other languages, which I'm kind of ashamed about, actually.”

“I think, in history, we often see a false representation of women. The men are always the successors and, supposedly, of their own merit, which I don't believe to be to true.”

“Liverpudlians have an amazing sense of humour, and they're very loyal and warm. All my family and friends are there, so when I'm not filming, I like to go back and catch up with everyone. We're a very close family.”

“I feel like when you perform in a period drama, it's so easy to transform yourself into someone else because the costumes are so different.”

“I don't think talent or an instinct for acting is something you can teach.”

“I'm really into boots.”

“I find if my character is more glamorous, I become more conscious of what I look like.”

“'The White Princess' follows Princess Lizzie, who was forced into marriage with Henry Tudor. It's kind of about how their marriage united the Yorks and the Tudors - the two families do rival but have to unite.”

“My mum used to always say to me, 'What's meant for you won't pass you by,' and it's true. If I didn't get something, it wasn't meant for me.”

“You have to be confident enough to pick yourself up and go to 30 meetings and be told no every time and not take that to heart.”

“I'd always wanted to do costume drama, but period dramas often become very wooden. Just because they're born in the 1400s, all of a sudden people start losing their sense of humour or their personalities.”

“It's so nice when you go on to a job and you've worked with someone before.”
