“I think I have that love of colour in common with Eric, my character on 'Sex Education.' That said, his look is often slightly off-kilter - the shoes will be a bit too 'out there,' or the trousers will be leopardprint or something. I like to think I'm a bit more put together than him.”

“There was one scene in which I wore a wig, full make-up and stilettos and thought, 'Oh my God, my family, all my friends in Tottenham! Nobody's ever seen me like this before... ' It was definitely a challenge but it helped me become braver as an actor.”

“When I was growing up, there weren't that many queer girls of colour making music. So I just wanted to be able to exist, just to be that, without putting too much emphasis on it.”

“When I watch a TV show I wouldn't notice if someone was Muslim or wearing a hijab. It's nice to be on a show where your skin colour or religion is incidental.”
