I’D DESCRIBE MY CHARACTER, AMARA, AS… The most relaxed and very wise. I think she’s too smart for her own good, which can sometimes hold her back from what she wants, but she has a lot of love. She’s also the first on the dancefloor.

THE SCENE THAT RESONATED WITH ME THE MOST IS… From the first episode, when the girls are sitting on Primrose Hill eating chips out of polystyren­e boxes and rolling down the hill.

MY OWN 20s ARE… Very much ongoing. I’ve done a whole show about being in them, while being in them, which is quite fun. I’ll let you know how they are in time.

I COULDN’T SURVIVE THEM WITHOUT… My family, friends and hobbies. I find myself indulging in hobbies a lot in my spare time, but I think I’d be really bored without them.

MY WORST FIRST DATE WAS… Not bad, but really funny. It was in the cinema and I accidental­ly sat in someone’s leftover nachos. I didn’t have a jacket, so I had to walk to the toilet with nothing covering the massive amount of cheese on my bum.

MY BEST FRIENDS ARE… My unnoticed joy. They bring a sense of peace and rationalis­ation to any situation that I don’t know I need until I speak to them and realise, ‘Oh yeah, you’re amazing.’

I’M THE FRIEND WHO… Gives great advice, if I do say so myself. But also the vibes. I feel like I bring the party.

THE GREATEST THING ABOUT FEMALE FRIENDSHIP IS… Knowing that this person is going to love you through whatever. Relationsh­ips can happen, but you still have this thing that’s been there from the beginning and will always be there.

I’VE LEARNED THAT LOVE IS… Constant change. That’s something I really saw in the show, that as somebody grows and shows you different parts of themselves, you can still find ways in which to love and hold them throughout. Love finds the beauty in every shape the person opposite shows them.

YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS SERIES BECAUSE… It will make you see yourself and your friendship group in a light that you might not have seen before.
