At Rada, I was cast as Lady Macbeth and tried to do it as seriously as I could, but people still started laughing. I just think they find my face too funny.

I'd love to be an artist. My mum is so talented and she used to design her own greetings cards. I'm crap at drawing though.
I am so grateful every day to do a job that I love. That is the key to life and what I would like to teach my daughter: do something you love and even if you're not good at it, just blag it.
I went to London for drama school but I hated it.
I'd just come out of drama school, didn't get anything, had to move back in with my parents and do a night-time cleaning job.
I love being outside in nature, especially by the water - if I could, I would come back as a tadpole so that I could just swim around all the time and have zero responsibility.
I love reading about ghosts, near-death experiences, astral projection - which is when you leave your body.
Oh my God, I used to love 'Just Seventeen'. My treat was to go to Woolworths with my pocket money and get 'Just Seventeen' and a packet of Juicy Fruit.
It's brilliant there are so many writer-performers around.
Growing up, we loved 'The Royle Family'. Caroline Aherne, she was just incredible.
I like to think I'm the canary down the mine for people.
I'm so bad with money, I had to hand all my cards over to my husband. It doesn't comprehend in my brain.
I'm difficult to cast. In comedy, if there's a female character, usually written by a bloke, she's either the ditsy good-looking one, or the sexually aggressive one. I never fit into those.
When I was in hospital, I recorded a ghost. My fave YouTube channel is Huff Paranormal, which is about a guy who talks to ghosts like he's talking to his neighbours.
I'm terrible at learning lines.
