Liverpudlian Jodie Comer has been making waves in the TV and film industry for a number of years now, but it was her role as Villanelle in the hit BBC series Killing Eve that really brought her to people’s attention.

After winning a BAFTA for Best Actress in 2019 for Killing Eve, the 31-year-old won an Emmy Award for the same role, and then another BAFTA in the Best Lead Actress category for her role in Channel 4 drama Help.

She has now expanded her portfolio to theatre with her role in the one-woman show Prima Facie, as well as to Hollywood with the big-screen films Free Guy, The End We Start From and The Bikeriders.
