The actress, who played Marianne in the BBC adaptation of Sally Rooney’s novel, also discussed what auditioning is like during the pandemic.
“I’ve got quite good at balancing up the camera and doing the lighting,” she said.
“The only thing is working out your eyeline.
“Sometimes I get a bit shy if I’m staring at the camera too much.”
She also discussed working with new social distancing rules in place, saying it feels “a wee bit strange at first, but it’s mad how used to things you get”.
