When asked if she felt ready to film the X-rated scenes, Nicola joked: ‘I’m gonna have to be.

Although she has a starring role on the Netflix drama, Nicola expressed her ’ final instalment.
Speaking to the press, she said: ‘We were meant to film Derry Girls in January 2021.
‘And I was totally free, and they decided to push it again. And that caused me insane stress because I was on what in the industry is called first call.’
They had to cut down my role somewhat, which was hard,’ she added.
‘But I think, you know, the fans of the show are going to be happy.’

‘There’s no deadline for them or anything — it’s leisurely at the moment — but, yes, I’m writing away.

We can’t wait to see more of her!
Saoirse-Monica Jackson
As well as Celebrity Gogglebox alongside her co-star Jamie, and defeating her co-stars in a special festive edition of The Great British Bake Off, Saoirse has appeared in a number of TV dramas.
However, the future is looking bright for the 28-year-old actress, as she’s landed a role in the upcoming DC film The Flash, which will also feature both Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton returning to the role of Batman.
The Flash is set to premiere next summer.

Not much is known about what’s in the pipeline for Louisa, however judging by her Instagram shots, it’s safe to say the 28-year-old actress has a passion for photography.
Her other credentials include a role in Netflix drama The Deceived alongside Normal People’s Paul Mescal, and she also featured in the 2017 film Lost in London alongside Daniel Radcliffe.
Siobhán McSweeney

Her sarcastic persona made her a fan favourite, with many calling for a Sister Michael spin-off.
Speaking on The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show, the 42-year-old actress insisted that Sister Michael works better as part of an ensemble rather than as the lead of her own show.
‘I don’t see it. I think she, like everybody, every character, exists so fully and truly in that particular environment.’
