On Nick:
"I got linked to Nicholas Hoult when he was in Skins. I was 14 at the time and played his sister! For the record, I’ve never been married to Nick Hoult. I did go out with Jack [who plays Cook] for a year and we were open about that in the press. Filming is an intense environment so it’s natural that relationships happen. We had a good time and I loved him a lot. He was a great first love and we’re still good mates, which is amazing considering most people hate each other when they split up. I was nervous about working with him after we split but it was amicable so we slipped back to being friends very easily."
On body image:
"Being on screen means we’re forced to scrutinise ourselves more than most women. I had terrible self-confidence when I was younger. I was paranoid about being too skinny, I had no boobs and looked like a boy. It got to the point where I wouldn’t wear short sleeves because I hated my skinny arms. I remember filming my first scene in a bikini and I cried and cried. But, as I’ve got older and met some new mates who helped boost my confidence, I’ve accepted that everyone is beautiful in different ways. And a padded bra works wonders!"
On her ex-boyfriend, Jack O'Connell:
"I really could have married him, but it was much too young. And then it broke my heart. I spent a week in my bedroom crying thinking it would never get better. But i’ve learnt so much from it and i’ve gotten so much stronger."
On the character of Effy:
"She's speaking now, which is an improvement! Effy's always trying to help people but in her own weird way which I like about her. She's grown up over the past two years. She's starting college so she's got a new bunch of people to play with; she's working out who she wants to be friends with and who she wants to sleep with..."
