"With my corset and everything, I had no central strength so I just completely toppled over. It happened twice more - I fell over three times. And the third time I was carrying a parasol which, you know, held in the wrong hands is deadly weapon."

She added: "So I fell forward really quickly and I stabbed Claudia Jessie in the hand and it drew blood - that was my first day. But she forgave me, we're still friends!"
Nicola, who's also known and loved for her role as Clare Devlin in Channel 4 comedy Derry Girls, also opened up about season two of the hugely popular show.
She told the presenters: "I mean, I hope so, we just have to wait for the gods at Netflix to say yes, but I mean when we got back to viewing figures it was just outrageous. You think 63 million households I can't sort of fathom that, it sounds unreal to me. So I'm hopeful, I guess!"

The Netflix series, created by Grey's Anatomy and How to Get Away with Murder writer Shonda Rhimes, has caused a stir since it landed on the streaming platform on Christmas Day 2019, in particular for its racy love scenes.
Star of the show, Regé-Jean Page, revealed he had given his family back home in London a heads up regarding some of the show's steamy moments via their family WhatsApp group. He also relayed the story of a funny message he had subsequently received from his cousin.
He told Jimmy: "She sent me a message that was like, 'I had to make so many tactical cups of tea during the show.' She said, 'I came back, and you were still going, so I had to go back and put the kettle back on'."
