I never ever thought that I was a giggler. I was the one who could hold it together but I didn't on this at all. I was kind of useless. Sometimes Ricky would just look at me and that was it and I would just be away.

They're not clothes that Ashley would wear. But the thing is, you can't stand out. At first I thought, 'I'll get myself a black Armani three-quarter-length coat', but then I was told that with Special Branch you have to blend in, so I could almost be taken for his daughter.

My mother has only just got over the fact that I will never play Shrek's sister - because of the Scottish accent, she thought I'd be perfect.
