Talking about what she did during lockdown, Felicity told host Graham: ‘I had a baby in the first one!

‘It was pretty intense, but having kids is intense anyway. The pandemic just added a little extra.’

Elsewhere on the show, Felicity talked about her character in the new romantic drama The Last Letter from Your Lover.
She explained: ‘I played her as though she has a permanent hangover, she’s drinking too much, and she’s lost a bit of hope and perspective. It’s a bit like living through COVID times.’
Asked about being a producer on the film, she admitted: ‘You get to a point when It’s so nice to be involved as early on as possible and have a little more input.
‘Traditionally, as an actor you come in at the last minute and it’s much nicer to have bit more of a say in what you are making.’
