Speaking about how her son Max helped her with the role, Cush Jumbo previously told iNews: "I started to feel bad for Frances that she didn’t get to go home to be with her kid but in jobs where you have to go there, you have to know how to pull yourself out again. Having Max there was really helpful with that."
