She has no formal acting training.

She got the call to audition for Killing Eve (2018) while nursing a hangover, following a party night with friends at a music festival in Barcelona. Despite feeling that she had little chance, she took the 13-hour flight to Los Angeles anyway. After five minutes in reading with Sandra Oh, she landed the part.

In 2019, at the age of 26, she became the youngest winner of the Emmy in the category "Best Actress in a Drama Series", a record previously held by Lindsay Wagner, who was 28. One year later, the record was broken by Zendaya, who won the Emmy at the age of 24.

Before her acting career took off, she was a checkout girl in a Tesco supermarket and worked in a bar for some time.

As of 2019 still lives with her parents Jimmy and Donna in Liverpool where her dad works for Everton Football Club.

My first professional audition was for a radio play in Manchester. That was the first audition that I got. It was my first paid job, which I think was, like, £150, and I thought it was megabucks.

It's going to be very, very different from 'The White Queen.' Rather than it being a follow-up, I think 'The White Princess' is definitely a standalone show.

It's so nice when you go on to a job and you've worked with someone before.

With acting, you have to just tell the truth in each moment.

You do have to challenge yourself. I think scared is a good thing.
