“Surround yourself with good people, it makes everything feel so much better.”
We’re weeks away from theBAFTA Awardsand all eyes are on the EE BAFTA Rising Star Award.
You’ve been on my screens for over 10 years!
She was inTracy Beaker, put some respect on Tracy Beaker’s name!"
So we’ve gone fromTracy Beakeron CBBC to you now being an EE BAFTA Rising Star.
Do you still speak to the cast ofTheDumping Ground?
Quite a few of them have messaged me.
No, not at all.
Apart from the change to film on one of the most popular party islands in Europe for two months…
Filming in Malia for two months, sold!
I have two younger sisters and I wanted them to see a film like this.
In some parts, it felt a little too human.
It’s literally like you have found your voice.
I’m quite a loud person anyway, but as a teenager, I was exceptionally loud.
So everyone was prepared for me to shout.
Did you find yourself slipping back into your teenage self while filming?
The six of us just had this connection.
Before we even set foot on that Malia strip it was like we were well into our teens.
So we had a slight crossover, which was really fun.
We just kind of bulldozed through and we’d have people coming up to us all the time.
and we were like, “What?”.
and I’d love to know if they watched it.
The topics of the film unfortunately relate to almost all women around the world.
How did you navigate the fine line between your personal life and your professional life while filming?
I got out of the bath, finished the scene and couldn’t stop crying.
Having those really tight-knit friendships and being there for each other as a support web connection really helped.
How important it is to be surrounded by good people.
Molly’s set had amazing people everywhere you went and we made something magical.
Surround yourself with good people, it makes everything feel so much better.
The film is out and you’re BAFTA nominated in a public vote category.
Why should people vote for you to be the EE BAFTA Rising Star this year?
Oh no, this is why I could never run for president.
It would be really cool for my five-month-old baby to grow up with a BAFTA in his room haha.
