Lily Loveless (apart from having an amazing name) has been popping up here and there in TV-land for a while now. Initially she was part of the cast of the second series of ‘Skins’ and more recently she has been seen in BBC3 series ‘The Fades’. An ever-improving actress, she also popped up in the final series of CBBC’s ‘Sarah Jane Adventures’ as Ellie Faber. Have the seeds already been planted for the Doctor’s next assistant?

Tell us about the character you’re playing?
I’m playing Hannah who is best friends with one of the girls Danielle. She uses the gang as a family unit because she doesn’t really have anyone else. She’s very awkward, very uncomfortable in her own skin and feels really ugly. She can’t really express herself so has all this built up frustration which makes her quite angry and violent.

What made you choose a film like Sket?
I’d never read a script that was so centred on women. Men tend to get the best roles written for them, and that’s what drew me to it at first, and that’s what drew me to the role of Hannah. Everyone has that side to them, where you wish you could just unleash, smash a car up and get all of the anger out.
