I used to watch 'Hollyoaks' before I joined the show, and I always loved the McQueens. To be part of that now is just brilliant.

I just want to play really strong characters that get to do really interesting things. But I would also love to play someone really vulnerable. When I first started my career, I tended to do a lot of things just to get the work.

As I got to about 9/10 years old I started to see roles on television that I wanted to play like a police officer in 'The Bill' or be a part of the 'Goodness Gracious Me Family' which I think further fuelled the desire to do this professionally.

You can get a job, but you have to actually start doing it before you can be like 'Yeah, I've really got that job.'

When I was younger I didn't feel I was represented in popular culture - you couldn't get a brown doll in the shops and you didn't see many brown people on TV.

I'll never forget how I started off and I'll never talk down about 'Hollyoaks'. Leaving was a business move for me, rather than a personal decision.

I want to be an Actress that is forced to change in order to play certain characters or tell stories. I don't want to just play a version of myself.

No, I went through a process just like I would any other job in which my agent received the breakdown for 'Doctor Who' and I went for my audition. In the original audition, it said you can bring as much to the character, we're looking for what the actor can bring.

I think everyone has such a negative perception of homeless people - including myself, before I'd researched homelessness for my role in 'Hollyoaks.'

We were filming 'Doctors' in Birmingham and they have the highest percentage of homeless people outside of London. You just have to walk down one of their busy streets to see that this issue is massive.
