They said to stay home so I did it quite strictly because I wanted to make sure I did the right thing. I went out a maximum of once a week to buy groceries. I exercised in the living room. I was on my own because my flatmate was away. I’d veer from wondering what was going to happen and being worried to being a bit calmer and doing yoga and meditat...
It’s set in Singapore during World War II and we see the fall of that colony due to incompetence. Japan invaded and we totally miscalculated. Winston Churchill regarded it as one of Britain’s greatest military disasters. The story is based on a satire written by a Booker award-winning novelist JG Farrell, who’s quite scathing about colonialism.
It’s always good to think about our past and learn from it and not be complacent. The Singapore Grip is about two families of colonists. We see their exploitation and their casual racism. We can learn from this history.
There’s mention of it being some kind of rattan basket, or a type of tropical illness. One character suggests it represents the colonial stranglehold on the locals. Another thinks it’s a hair clip. But there’s also talk of it being something that happens in a romantic moment. I can’t go into more details than that.

China was occupied by the Japanese and she got involved in the resistance. She arrives in Singapore, works as a nurse and a dancer, and is the love interest of Matthew Webb. The Blackett family are disgusting racists and ...
I’m British but my family is Chinese with a sprinkling of Japanese. I have family in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia and also a couple of cousins in China.
You don’t understand how excited I was! It was a small part, playing a soldier, but it was the biggest role of my life and it was a really good episode because it had the Daleks in it. I went to the group read-through. David Tennant was there and there was a guy doing the Daleks, saying their lines into a machine to make the voice.
I was so young and didn’t know a thing. Michelle Keegan, who played Tina McIntyre, took me under her wing. My character Xin nicked Tina’s man. I never understand these things. I’m the least likely person to nick someone’s man. If an ex-boyfriend of one of my girlfriends asks me out I’ll always go: ‘No! Stay away from me!’ As an actor you have to lo...
I do a lot of rock-climbing. I actually had a massive fear of heights so I did rock-climbing to try to get over it. I think it’s helped me to be less scared.
Comedy improvisation is my big thing. There’s a comedy improvisation company in Los Angeles called The Groundlings where a lot of comedy stars have started – Will Ferrell, Melissa McCarthyand Kristen Wiig all trained there. As a student you go through different levels and if you don’t pass, you get kicked out. Once you get to the advanced level, wh...
