The Last Word – Sarah Pylas up designer and had been working with Kimberly Walsh, who played Prissy Polly in the movie.
The one thing you couldn’t do without? Family aside, my laptop! I’d be lost without it.
Do you belong to any groups? I attend a film club with some local friends and it is my favourite social event! Before lockdown, a small group of us would visit the East Dulwich Picturehouse once a month and when that was no longer possible, it changed to Netflix and Zoom Club but it wasn’t the same! Now, we just chat on WhatsApp and hope to be back in the cinema again very soon.

Where’s your favourite place to walk? Nunhead Cemetary.
The book I’m reading at the moment… I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman by Nora Ephron
My perfect holiday… Greece, always. I miss it so much.
The most famous person you’ve met?
My secret ambition…
My sister once introduced me to 3/5 of Girls Aloud while we were in a queue for the Ladies loo at the premiere of the Horrid Henry. She’s a make-
To run a beachside taverna on a remote Greek Island… maybe! On reflection, I think I’d miss my friends and family too much!
