Shining Girls is Apple TV+'s latest original drama – and it's fair to say that we are obsessed. Starring Elisabeth Moss, the story follows an archivist for a newspaper who is haunted from a brutal attack that left her mentally and physically scarred six years earlier – so when she realises that a murdered woman was attacked by the same man who hurt her, she teams up with a journalist to uncover the truth behind the ritualistic attacks.

Jamie opened up about the role to RadioTimes.com, and was full of praise for his co-star, Elisabeth. He said: "I find acting really hard, you can probably tell! There's a lot of effort that goes into it, so I cannot imagine having to do two or three or four jobs on the set like she does. It’s unbelievable, I don't understand how it happens.

"I'm always fascinated by actors taking on directing jobs, because I'm always kind of looking at them in the scene going, 'Surely your mind is thinking about 10 different things?'
