I always wanted to be an actress, when I was younger I was going to several auditons a week, but I kept getting turned down because I was too young, so I waited till I was older, and I finally got a part in a small play, and it just went on from there.

Please tell us a little more....

You were brought up by your parents in Swansea?
Are you still with them or when did you leave?
Do you have brothers or sisters?
Have any of your family been entertainers?
What was that first small play? Where was it performed and what part did you play? Did you have to say a lot? Were you confident or nervous?

I don't live with my parents anymore, but I still see them lots, I live in Manchester, as I'm filming Waterloo Road most days of the week, I moved in February, so I haven't been without them long, but I do miss them lots. I have a brother and a sister, called josh and rachel. No, my family aren't that much of entertainers, they have normal jobs.
Oh god, the first play I was in properly...year 1 nativity. I was one of the shepherds, I didn't really have any lines I don't think. Haha

I love working on Waterloo Road, but I also loved working on Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging so much, it was such fun to film!

Can you tell us more about working on 'Angus'? Did it take long to film? Did any funny things happen during filming?

It took about 10 months altogether to film, I loved filming it, I made some amazing friends while working on it, it was such a laugh.

North End Mam wrote:Is your boyfriend famous? Did you meet while filming??

No he's not famous.

North End Mam wrote:As well as Waterloo Road, you've done Casualty, The Bill and Eastenders Were they all fun to work on or were some not so good? Did you play 2 different characters in Casualty??

It was all such fun to film. I loved filming Eastenders because I don't really play characters like I played in it, so I really enjoyed.

North End Mam wrote:I could easily imagine you playing a character on Coronation Street, would you like to do that?

Yeah I'd love to be in Corrie! I've watched it since I was a kid, so it would be amazing to be in.

Did your family ever get to see the sex scene? What clothes did you keep on for it?? haha

Yes, I went for a couple of auditions before I actually went on it but I got turned down because I was younger, but I loved being on it!

I wouldn't let them watch it! Haha, we kept our underwear on in filming.

DellBoy wrote:You are welsh and I think you'd have been great on Gavin and Stacey, did you try for it??

Haha yes I am welsh, I've never really thought about going on it, but it would be fun to!

Did you do any other job before you started acting?

It must be difficult casting the pupils for Waterloo Rd because of age. A lot of the actors must have to make themselves look younger than they are? How old do you think the oldest actor playing a child is? How old is the youngest?

What is your star sign?

How long does it take you to get ready for a night out?

Do you smoke? Ever been tempted to try drugs?

Your eyes are blue? Is your hair naturally blonde?

Would you rather have a bath or a shower?

How tall are you? Pref. in feet and inches as I get confused with metric, haha. And what is your bra size??

Which subjects were you best in at school? Did you take any qualifications?

Is there a dishy actor you would love to co-star with?

I was like 14 when I seriously got into acting, I didn't really have a job before then.

Yeah, we are like a couple of years older than who we play, but we do make ourselves look younger. You can audition for the show if you are 13 or above, so I think that will be the youngest age we have? I don't know sorry!

My star sign is cancer.

half pint wrote:How long does it take you to get ready for a night out?

About 4 hours? Including shower/bath and everything haha.

half pint wrote:Do you smoke? Ever been tempted to try drugs?

I do smoke, but not a lot. But I wouldn't do drugs, ever.

half pint wrote:Your eyes are blue? Is your hair naturally blonde?

Yes they are, and my hair is just a bit darker than it is now, as I've dyed it, but yes its a natural blonde.

Bath. I love relaxing! But if I'm in a hurry I'll take a shower.

I actually don't know how tall I am, I'm quite tall I'd say? And I'm not telling you my bra size haha.
