The BBC star revealed that this role is what she has “always wanted to do” throughout her TV and film career.
She said: “I’ve always wanted to do something in a fantasy or a magical. When this came along, I just thought this is exactly what I’ve always wanted to do.”
The actress told her viewers: “It’s a perfect blend of like a modern family story, mythology and magic.”
