The actress stars in the hit BBC police drama
tells us here how her father’s career in the police force helped inspire her performance., says her greatest role is being a mum to Ben, 11, and Archie, nine, her sons with her husband, actor and award-winning theatre director Bill Buckhurst, who is currently at the helm of the West End production ofSiân, your dad was in the police. Did that background help you prepare to play Grace?
We kicked off last August and finished in December, so it's around four or five months in Belfast with the team. They're the most amazing cast and crew. It's an old cliché, but it's like a family. We've been together for two years, making seasons one and two, so to think we can spend another two years is a happy prospect.My biggest job is being a mum, so the hardest part is that I have to be away from them, but I have an amazing husband who holds the fort.
I've had lots of people coming up and wanting to share their love of the show, and it's great to have that feedback. I never went into acting to be recognised, so it's not something that sits comfortably with me. In terms of future plans, are you interested in returning to the theatre at some point, or perhaps directing?
