Game of Thrones and The Tower star Gemma Whelan (@gemwhelan ) tells Sophie @heawood about her no-holds-barred roles, her parents, being a mother, and her approach to handling awkward scenes…
Speaking of her dad, Gemma says he ‘was a real champion of me; he was always the one saying, “I absolutely believe in you, you’ll win a Bafta.” We used to watch The Graham Norton Show together and I said, “Ooh, I’d love to be on that one day.” And he’d say, “You will be!” And I was, but,’ she says, blinking away a tear, ‘he didn’t live long enough to see it.’

First Mother's Day without my mum. Sucks out loud for sure. But I am also a mum and am luckily being celebrated and I ran a half marathon imagining I was running to my mum and that was nice. Hope everyone is managing in the first one without world.
I am also laughing hard at my pride displaying my medal backwards - sums it all up really.
Thank goodness for family and friends.
