Jamie-Lee O'Donnell shot to fame in 2018 thanks to her role as Michelle in the Channe; 4 comedy Derry Girls.
She opened up about her working-class background and how financial limitations made it hard for her to break into the business."It was a really difficult journey for me," she said. "I had to sidestep a lot, I had to sort of find different routes and plan Bs and plan Cs, because I couldn't afford to go to drama school, I was looking after myself financially and living by myself from 18.
For Jamie-Lee, she believes that something more should be done to welcome people from less financially secure backgrounds into the industry. "But we're not represented within the industry getting employed and paid. That's still a big problem.
