Kate previously opened up about what it was like working with her 22-year-old daughter, Mia, whom she shares with ex-husband, director Jim Threapleton.

"We know how to push each other's buttons... I've been a parent to teenagers and have been on the periphery of friends raising teenagers who have gone through some absolutely horrific things. A lot of the things you hear in the film are direct from things that friends have said to me."
In a separate interview on ITV's Lorraine, she said it was "amazing" to work alongside her daughter, saying that she was "blown away by her courage". "She's very, very powerful," she added.
