What’s the last piece of clothing you bought?

I didn’t actually buy it, but my cast mate Jessica Lord gave me a beautiful green off-the-shoulder top for my birthday, and it’s now my favourite.

What are you addicted to buying?

Jackets. I love them so much, especially puffer jackets and faux fur jackets. I am a very cold person by nature.

Best ever bargain?

My big vintage faux fur jacket that I got at Mr Ben Retro Clothing in Glasgow. It cost £20.

Who has great style?

I really love Nineties style. The girls in Friends have great style and I really like mom jeans and little tops.

Name your favourite high street shop.

Urban Outfitters, but if I am on a budget, Primark. You can get bargains there and pair them up with other things to make great outfits.

Any fashion disasters you’d care to tell us about?

So many. I used to be very outrageous when I was younger and my friends used to laugh. I used to really hate my ankles as I had little skinny legs so I wore these big silly polkadot leg warmers.

What’s your favourite item in your wardrobe?

My white Adidas Stan Smith trainers. I can wear them with anything and they’ll make my outfit look a little bit funky and cool. n
