“When I'm not filming full-time, I work out four times a week doing body weight exercises and weights. I'll do a leg day maybe with some abs, then the next day I'll do my arms.”

“I prefer wearing no makeup anyway, because I like the contrast when you go out at night and you look different. I actually feel more confident with less makeup than I do with makeup on.”

“I'm an actress. You can hide behind your character when you're acting - you're not being yourself.”

“I've grown up around that sort of petty crime, getting into trouble and trying to get out of it. What's funny is my dad was an inspector in the police, so I was known as the grass.”

“Wear a foundation one shade lighter than your skin tone - you can always make it darker, but not lighter, once it's on.”

“My dad cooks beef in Guinness, I don't know why he does that, he adds chocolate to his spaghetti Bolognese too, I'm scared about doing that, it would like chocolate Bolognese if I did it, he likes to make it look rich that's why, so yes, my dad experiments but I don't.”

“I had that whole banter with the police. My mates used to make up raps about Dad being a policeman, it's hilarious.”

“I always wear Disney pyjamas on Christmas morning.”

“No matter how old you are, you always want your parents' approval.”

“With comedy it's all about timing and presence on screen, as the words are there but you have to say them right and the right timing.”

“Yes, the first time I made flapjacks it was like granola, I forgot to put the sugar in, so I went through hours of mixing it and making it then I went to cut into it, and it fell apart.”

“The public aren't stupid, they know that celebrities are getting paid to promote. I don't want to influence young women to do or buy something that I don't feel passionate about, just so I get paid for it.”

“When you're growing up in the public eye, it's hard to go from a girl into a woman in front of everyone.”
