I know I’m joining a huge chorus by saying this but I will shout it from the rooftops all-the-same:
GIVE SARAH LANCASHIRE ALL THE AWARDS.
Her ability to embody such an awesome balance of badassery, gentleness, rage and calm is sensational.
An inspiration.

@lukasgage
So atrocious! 😒
Today I did a self tape and this was literally my set up - in an underground bedroom, my ‘background’ is my blanket sellotaped to a wall, a tower of books with a tiny tripod. The struggle is real!
How dare that director speak so disparagingly! So unimpressed.
Thank you Jodie Comer for saying this ♥️
I didn’t get into drama school. But I could never give up on acting. So over the past 12 years, I took as many classes, workshops and courses as possible.
Acting professionally is my dream and dreams are for everyone.
@OlivierAwards
Jodie Comer: "To any kids who haven't been to drama school, who can't afford to go, have been rejected - don't let anyone tell you it's impossible."
There are so few working class actors breaking into the industry, she is a ray of hope and a much needed role model. Thank you ❤
Today I was asked what my “back-up plan” was if acting didn’t work out. I know it wasn’t meant to sound discouraging but just an FYI to non-actors/creatives:
We’re really aware how hard our industry is to crack and questions like that can make us feel so hollow. We’re trying 😔
🌟 A bit of news! 🌟
I’m really proud to say I’m entering into a new chapter in my career and am now represented by

Finally beginning to feel some fiery excitement again!! ☺️🎉✨
Let’s GO!
Oh
@yellowbellyfoto
you absolute legends… 🥹🙏🏻♥️
I love my new headshots - thank you so, so much! Rosie - you’re a Queen!
I’ve never felt so confident with my headshots as I do now… 🙏🏻
Let’s go 2023 😎

This is what I was filming in July!
Eternally grateful to my amazing agent

Still feels unreal.
Here’s to new beginnings ☺️

This month I‘ve emailed 60+ casting directors - saying hi, sending info. I’m so grateful to those who’ve replied, it means the world.
I know CDs are MAD busy, I never expect a response, it’s all good 🙏🏻
But must say I’m a bit proud of myself for completing this self-set goal 😌
A year ago today I had my first audition for the Samsung ad!! I took this in the
@SpotlightUK
bathrooms 😂
I can’t believe it’s been a year. And I still pinch myself. So much has happened since then thanks to that ad. Huge thanks still to
@Ali_Fearnley
♥️
So grateful.

Funny moment at work:
I’m clearing a table where a couple are sitting and as I’m about to take their plates away…
Man: Can I ask you a question?
Me: Sure!
Man: … Are you in a phone advert on TV?
Me: Oh! Aw, yeah… that’s me.
Man: *turns to wife* I TOLD YOU IT WAS HER!
A childhood dream realised today!
A friend went to the cinema and the Samsung commercial played!! I didn’t think that’d be happening in the UK and I’m so thrilled!
I’m on the Big Screen, mum! 🥹♥️ Hoping one day I can say this about being in a movie…🤞🏻We shall see 🤗
Hehe! 🥹
2 recalls tomorrow… 🥹🥹🥹
That’s a first for me!
I’ll be running around London like a mad woman 😂
What will be will be but I am feeling so so grateful 🙏🏻
@simonblackwell
Ah, gosh. Our gorgeous Cat passed away a few weeks ago and this tweet brought those last few weeks with him back. Of course there were very low times but some very delightful moments when we discovered something that brought him comfort - they were so dear. Here’s our Old Boy.
30.
Squinting into the sun. A beautiful birthday so far including a river walk and huge amounts of ice-cream.
It’s been… quite a year.
I hope this next one is even more magical…
☀️
This week I was lucky enough to get a “you booked the job!” phone call…
Feeling so grateful.
Huge love and thanks as ever to the whole team
@wintersons
♥️🙏🏻♥️
The moment I found out…
I booked the job.
🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
I just… cannot believe it. I’ve never had *that* call before… 10/10 would recommend 😅🙏🏻♥️
All the thanks in the world to my amazing agent
@rhiemilyagent
@VLA_talent
- thank you so much!!! 🥹
♥️🙏🏻♥️
I’m in a theatre.
I’m about to watch Zoë Wanamaker and Peter Capaldi in Constellations.
This feels so, so special.
The whooshing hush of the audience will descend soon...
I may weep with happiness.

A year ago today I flew to Copenhagen to film the Samsung ad!
BUT for the sake of balance and openness - I haven’t booked another job since. It’s a very quiet time. Such is the way. Ebb and flow.
Fingers crossed for a new adventure soon. Solidarity with all in the same boat ♥️
And just like that… I’ve wrapped on my first TV job.
A totally joyful experience with wonderful, kind and supportive people.
Feeling incredibly lucky - when I can shout about it more, I will.

Big thanks to my gorgeous agent Jess

Before tonight’s ep, I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to everyone I worked with on

Huge thanks to my agent Jess

for casting me as Sky Fitch… in my first TV job 🥹🙏🏻
@BBCCasualty
Yesterday a (maybe slightly silly) childhood dream came true… I got my very own trailer with my name on a piece of paper on the window.
Joyful moment.
Very thankful 🙏🏻♥️
Shout out to those juggling full time work and the acting malarkey.
I had 2 tapes to film this eve after a 9 hour day with no break (and at the end of a v emotional week) and I kept messing up and nearly cried.
This is your reminder to breathe deep and to look after yourself ♥️
When not acting, I work as a manager in a little village bakery. It’s very wholesome - thatched cottages, a few pubs, a river… and our bakery ♥️ Here’s me posing with a cake like a proud parent 🍰😂
One of my new agents likened me to a Wes Anderson character. I’ll take that 😅
A year ago today my face was on the Duomo in Milan 🤯
But, for the sake of balance, a year on and I’ve not booked another job.
The ebb and flow feels hard right now.
But I still feel immense gratitude… And the quiet times are just as precious and fruitful.
Deep breath.
Started this week on an awesome set, filming for my first TV role… 🎥
Finishing it back at the little bakery job I do to make ends meet in between acting jobs. ☕️
Feeling beyond lucky and grateful for both 🙏🏻♥️
#ActorsLife
Just realised I didn’t share one of my new headshots! 🙄
I call this one… Waystar CorduRoyco
I don’t really. Don’t worry.
It’s a bit more Scrappy-Doo, I guess 😂
Succession fans unite 👊🏻
I call these three my “In a show at The National” shots ♥️
Maybe one day 🤞🏻
These aren’t even from my final selection but the AMAZING folk
@yellowbellyfoto
have let me share these photos from my shoot! 🥹
I love them!
Thanks so much Rosie - you’re an amazing photographer 🙏🏻♥️
Having the ad play so much during the World Cup has been astonishing…
Really hope people don’t get too sick of my face 😅
I still pinch myself every time 🤯
And - as ever - thank you for all the kind words and support… ♥️
2022 has been the most unpredictable year 🙏🏻
I filmed a self-tape after work today as the sun was setting and honestly I just wish I could get this lighting all the damn time.
I actually look healthy and not like a pale, sickly Victorian 😂
A few of my current headshots…
From left to right:
The Penelope Pitstop.
The tired Nordic detective.
The period drama woman who maybe sorta kinda likes that guy.

Self-tape Sunday ☀️🎥
It’s been a quiet few weeks for me on that front - but such is the way. Learning to revel in busy times and be peaceful when it’s quiet.
Happy Sunday all ☺️
Beginning to sink in now… That’s a lie, it’s absolutely not.
Flying away to do an acting job ♥️
I’ve imagined typing that before.
Can’t believe I actually get to now.
So grateful. Almost teary. Let’s go.
As ever, thank you to

The face of someone who has finished their last shift before Christmas 🥹
It was our busiest day yet… I think I’ll be making coffees in my dreams tonight… 😂
Merry Christmas Eve, all! 🎄🎉🥂✨

#MerryChristmasEve
On Christmas Day we had croissants from my bakery (proven at home, over night and then baked on Christmas morning) and they were GLORIOUS.
Obviously, acting is the dream. But gosh, I feel so lucky to work in my little bakery with the most talented bakers and patisserie team ♥️
Today I made a decision that I’ve been weighing up for a while. The outcome of which is a bit scary but also very exciting.
But it’s the right choice.
Time to turn a new page.
So. Hi, I’m Jamie and I am officially seeking representation again ♥️
#actor
#seekingrepresentation
A pink kind of day.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. I hope that today is filled with Very Good Things. And if you’re finding today (and the whole festive period) tough, I send you love and hope you experience unexpected, happy surprises.
Sending love and peace 💕
I know it’s silly and I work in a tiny village so it’s really not a grand thing but I got recognised as “the woman from the phone ad” in the pub today and it was a funny, mad, special feeling 🥹😅
Last gym sesh before Christmas ✅
Now, to bed… and mentally preparing for Christmas Eve madness at the bakery ☕️🥖🥐
It’s a lovely time of year to be amongst the community. The bakery has become such a hub and I love it for that. Watching people become friends is beautiful ♥️
In the spirit of the MADNESS of the last few months:
I am SO thrilled, humbled, grateful and excited to say that I now also have representation in the US! 🇺🇸🥹♥️
Being represented by an agency in LA is so beyond what I imagined possible and I am in a state of utter disbelief 🥲
Waking up to the text from my US reps that the
#SagAftraStrike
was over was wonderful!
Huge kudos and respect to all picketers, negotiators and supporters. What a year!
Now, I wanna put these headshots to good use and get to work! 😂
US casting directors… Hi!
#SagAftraStrong
Apparently, I’m celebrating the last day of my 20s by dressing up as Wally (or Waldo, to my lovely American followers)
Today you will find me… hiding behind large potted plants or pillars or in amongst huge crowds of people who look vaguely like me.
A few stills from last night’s episode!
It was an absolute pleasure to play a small part in such a beloved series.
Sky Fitch… You had a rough ride. Well done for making the right decision in the end ♥️

SO pleased to finally share some of my new headshots!
Thank you so much to Rosie and all the team
@yellowbellyfoto
- it was such a brilliant day and I’ll definitely be recommending you to everybody! ♥️🙏🏻🎉
Casting directors... here’s my face! Please put me in things 😂🤗
4 years ago an SM said I wasn’t “getting any younger”. Apparently I wasn’t doing enough to get acting work despite using any time off/spare pennies I had to do workshops/courses/see plays etc.
This month I’m 28.
Still not had much luck.
But I’ll be ready when the time comes 😎♥️
@pryorandy
Thank you ♥️ that’s a lovely tweet!
This was a set up shot from last year... note the tower of books, the (burrowed) mini tripod and the pièce de résistance that is my sellotaped blanket on the wardrobe behind me 😂
I researched “Network” by Lee Hall earlier this year and, feeling inspired, filmed this.
I know the accent could be sharper but I enjoyed letting the rage flow.
(I was living with my baby nephew at the time so couldn’t really yell much 😂)
Hope you enjoy ♥️

So, Covid = limited acting work.
Or in my case, none 😂
BUT with a ‘do-what-you-can’ attitude I have updated my showreel - it’s made up of a few self tapes I filmed in lockdowns 1-3.
Any love shown for it would be so appreciated 🙈♥️🙏🏻

Polite request:
If you ask an actor how it’s going and they say, “Quite quiet at the moment, unfortunately” - PLEASE don’t reply with, “Have you thought of a Plan B?”
Even if well meant, it just screams “It won’t work out” and… well, I didn’t need to hear that this morning 🥲
First day back at the bakery after my mad and brilliant filming week. My boss made me this badge and it’s just the sweetest thing. I’m so lucky that I work with people who are so supportive and kind and just understand that I’ve got a dream to chase.
Feeling so very grateful 🙏🏻
✨ Lads. An UPDATE. ✨
Football changed up the TV schedule over the last few weeks, SO…
July 27th!
That’s the date I’ll be making my TV debut. I’m nervous. I’m excited. I may hide under my duvet.
More info to come!
As ever, thanks for all the support 🙏🏻
♥️
@wintersons
Off somewhere exciting for a wardrobe/make-up day… 🎥 👀
It’s not lost on me how lucky I am to start the year off with an acting job. Bonkers.
Can’t share much at the moment but feeling very lucky ♥️🙏🏻

#WorldTheatreDay
I want you to get mad… 🤯
I filmed this speech (the start of it, anyway) from Network about a year ago for a bit of fun…
(I couldn’t go too loud because I had a sleeping nephew in the next room 😂)
Nevertheless… enjoy ♥️
#worldtheatreday2023
Life has been a bit here there and everywhere recently. Not so much with acting stuff - but all sorts of other things.
I filmed this one a while back. Practicing an American accent. I know it’s not perfect but I’m working on getting it better ☺️
Forgive the re-post ♥️
#actor
I filmed a version of this speech in 2020 during Lockdown 1.0 but felt the urge to film it again today almost exactly 2 years on.
I think it’s beautiful.
It’s from the film “Stardust” based on the book by Neil Gaiman. ✨

About a month ago an elderly man came to the bakery. He wanted a coffee but only had cash (we only take card). I told him not to worry, and I got him his drink.
Today he came back… and gave me this… (a box of chocolates with 3 pound coins taped to the box).
Beyond sweet 🥹♥️
Did a nice little 5k social run with pals and my knee held out!! 🙏🏻 Legs finally beginning to feel a bit stronger.
Celebrating with hot tea and a warm jumper 🤌🏻
INT. The Spotlight bathroom.
Audition done did. Whatever happens, it just felt GREAT to be back in the room after so long… 🙏🏻♥️
Have an awkward pre-audition selfie for good measure 😂
