Jodie Whittaker

I went to football training when I was five because I think my father thought he had two boys.

When you're a kid, you read about this glamorous acting world, but actually it's really unglamorous.

I avoid banks and I've never been in any sort of corporate environment at all.

At school, I was brought up on revolting food - sausages, sausages and Spam - but at home, I had the most wonderful sponge puddings, which I don't indulge in very often now.

There are lots of procedural shows that I love, but I never really wanted to be a doctor on 'E.R.' - which I'm just picking as an example - or be on a crime procedural.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
