I think nudity is acceptable if a role requires it as an integral part of a storyline and not just for gratuity purposes.

There's too many to mention! There can be a lot of waiting around on and off set so people get easily bored and might hack into your twitter account or put up pictures of you in the greenroom and write funny captions to go with them!

I wouldn't do anything different to what I've done so there isn't one year I could pick, lots of great things have happened in my life and I'm grateful for all of them and the bad stuff only makes you stronger and moulds you into the person you are today.

Thank you! You are very kind

I go through phases, when I get into a routine I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and eat healthily and stay off drink in the week and I notice big results but I find it hard work and need a trainer to motivate me, at other times I'll go to the gym once or twice every fortnight and eat what I want but I feel much better mentally and physically when I'm training and being good so it's definitely worth the hard work.

Jillyanne wrote:Hi, I bet it was fun doing When Harry Met Sally. Did you enjoy that?

Can you place films, TV and stage acting in order of preference?

It was great fun, a dream role and a great cast to work with and fun being on tour for 6 months.

Oooh it's so difficult to place my jobs in an order as I've loved them all equally for different reasons, I've gained something important from every experience.

I did a panto last christmas and sang in that and I would love to do a musical and can sing so it would be nice to be able to use my singing more for a job.

1. Do friends have a pet name or nickname for you?

My friends call me Dunn or the dunnster.


2. At school were you well-behaved or how did you get in trouble?

I love driving and have always loved cars, my dream car would be a Mercedes SLR


5 If you were offered a part in a different TV soap, which series would you choose?

That's a toughy! Probably Coronation St as it's such an institution, it's Northern and it's just down the road!

Beyonce is my god, I think she's incredible! I have a varied taste in music though, I love Prince, The Fray, Adele, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Kylie, Train, Ray Lamontagne, James Morrison.........I could go on forever.

8. What product would you like to be given a contract to advertise?
It would hae to be a hair product like l'oreal or pantene as people always comment on my hair, it's very thick and healthy and I'd love to swish it about in an advert!

I have a new puppy Beagle called Wilson.



10 What is your favourite meal? And favourite drink?

Anything with cheese, I am a big cheese lover, any type with everything accompanied with a large glass of red.


11 If you had not become famous what jobs would you have liked to do?

I think I would have ended up doing something in the industry anyway, maybe a make up artist or hair stylist.


12. Do you play any musical instruments?

I can play the piano a little, but literally only a little, I am hoping to learn properly one day.

It depends what mood I'm in, in summer I love bright colours or for a fun night out or if I'm slobbing at home I'll just stick on jeans and a white or dark t-shirt.

Jeans is easiest unless I'm feeling adventurous and then I'll throw some fashionable outfit together.
