grandchildren one-day want
I want to have a little toy version of Morgana. I can then show it to my grandchildren one day. So I can say I used to have a waist.
fashion high-heels jeans
I wear a lot of black, knitwear, skinny jeans and very high heels. My mum used to work for a fashion designer making knitwear, so she knits me lots of chunky scarves, hats and gloves, which I love.
princess mind firsts
One thing I've always thought about Morgana is that she's sort of a modern mind in a period body. She's not your usual warm princess, which is what drew me to her in the first place.
bows stuff frills
I don't like pink and I am not into girlie stuff, bows and frills, sugary looking things.
growing-up character acceptance
I have always said the success of the show has stemmed from our audience being able to relate to the characters on different levels - being based on the universally loved Arthurian legend is only a tiny part of its success - it's a story about acceptance and growing up. The breathtaking finale of this series leaves you with no doubt that characters have been on their journeys and had their stories told - it's completely the right time to draw our telling of the story to a close.
