'Killing Eve' star Jodie Comer claims she has 'zero' love life

Jodie Comer has claimed she has “zero” love life since sky rocketing to fame in hit show Killing Eve as she has no time.

The 26-year-old actress - who has won a legion of fans as steely assassin Villanelle in the BBC drama - reportedly split from her boyfriend in March this year.

When asked about her dating life by The Australian newspaper, Comer said: “Oh, zero, darling, zero.”

She added: “I don't know if it's particularly because I've played a ­psychopath. I don't get approached at all. Which is fine - I'm never in one place long enough.”

The British actress revealed in September last year she had a boyfriend back home in Liverpool but it was reported earlier this year that they were no longer together.

Comer also revealed she had acquired a fanbase of “strange men” who followed her around while she was on a US press tour and turned up at the airport at 2am in a bid to get her to sign an autograph.

The Doctor Foster star had previously said playing a villainous killer scared off men.

She said: “I wanted people to be scared of [Villanelle]. But when I am introduced to men sometimes they are a little bit hesitant and yes, maybe they can be a bit frightened.”

The show - scripted by Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge - has seen Comer scoop a host of awards including a TV Bafta for Best Actress.
