Description
Derry Girls star Nicola Coughlan invites Abby Hollick into her County Galway childhood bedroom for a frank and funny chat about playing Claire, 'the wee lesbian’, growing up in Ireland and why her career has been a slow burn. Sitting on her childhood bed next to fabulous pink doll wallpaper Nicola shares how rejection has made her better and hungrier, how unemployment led to one of the lowest points in her life and why she wishes her dad could see her current success. She chats about the comments she’s received from one reviewer about her weight and why she has campaigned for gay marriage and abortion law changes in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Plus, she tells us how she’s fallen in love with the people of Derry and why a true Derry girl loves a blow dry! Sit back and relax and take a duvet day with Nicola and Abby.
