Opening up about her acting career, she told Female First: “I’ve been fortunate enough to have recently been allowed to play some amazing characters… And they are all so different.

“I went from The Huntress to Mina Murray and then straight on to an incredible indie film in Australia called Cut Snake, which is set in the 70’s.”

She added: “I love each of them, but particularly because of their differences. I’m never bored.”
