In true-life dramas, you have to do so much research. It’s a big responsibility to make sure things are as correct as possible. In ‘Robin Hood’, you have more artistic license – it’s all action, adventure and reaction. This gives everyone a chance to make their characters their own and to make them believable.

I really enjoy dressing up. I’m pretty much a girlie girl.

I grew up on a farm – it was a lovely life; we’d make tree houses all day – and my parents worked from home.
