"I was having a bit of a wobble,' she told the Express (via Dailymail). "Everything was a bit same-y and I'm the kind of character that likes to be challenged."
That all changed when she was presented with a challenge that hit close to home base: a Welsh drama.
One would imagine that for a native of Wales, speaking their tongue would not be that big a deal. That was far, very far, from the truth.
I started with the scripts and had to learn the Welsh alphabet. I didn't even know there was a different alphabet!
As if that wasn't enough of a challenge, she only had four months to learn the language well enough to be presented to an audience.
