I m sorry I sent my daughter to a private school because that’s what worked for me and her at the time . Education is , was very Important to me . Am I now going to be vilified and bullied for it ? I can believe the nastiness on twitter and from people I even know !
35 years an actor I now have a non viable job Thanks
@RishiSunak
is that all of us in The Arts ? We are prevented from working so can not even work if we wanted too . Absolutely insulting to me and all those people who thrive in and enjoy The arts . Brings120 bill into economy .
Going home ! Sorted online , paid 100 quid for emergency document , appt this morning at 9 am at british consul .
Phew little stressful to say the least but could’ve been lot worse am safe , fit and healthy
Thanks to all the lovely people on here and friends who helped me xx
I am working !! OMG so excited ! A little filming but so bloody excited ! Been nearly 6 months I am an actor again I’m acting !!! 😂 socially distanced of course very safe indeed !
It’s a toxic , patriarchal world in my industry there are many snakes , bullies and hypocrites when you’re up they love you when you’re down they will kick you in the teeth . Tabloid press and sociall media surely partly to blame ? I feel so affected by this tragic news .
What they Haven’t said is Nicola if you’re listening please come back do not worry about what people /media say there is no shame in mental health issues or alcohol issues / menopause I

❤️ I have so much love for these photos. Thelma Barlow turned 94 last month, & Barbara Knox will celebrate her 90th birthday in September. They look INCREDIBLE. They first shared the screen in June 1973, and today, they reunited at the Tatton Park Flower Show in Cheshire.

There are a certain elite especially in North London where I live who think it’s fine to swan around the world in a national pandemic they don’t care about otters they break all the rules why ? Because they can and feel they are entitled , financially and metaphorically .

Why can’t women walk alone in the dark at night safely There are some very high profile people talking nonsense maybe they are privileged they don’t have to walk or get public transport alone at night they can afford to get cabs etc . It’s not anti men ! !

for putting this lovely pic in their shop window I’m overwhelmed by people’s kindness at this very sad time!
Incredibly sad to learn of the loss of one of our greatest comedians, Sean Lock. A much loved part of the C4 family he’s played a huge role on the channel for over 2 decades, and we’ll miss him. Our thoughts are with his family and friends
This is why it is so important to get into the room for castings and not to self tape all the time . I went for my first meeting in 1985 when
@bbceastenders
was going to be called E8 ! Didn’t get it but they asked me to meet again in 88 . I got the role .
