Although, the star definitely has not let fame go to her head, speaking with the RTÉ Guide recently about her life before fame, she said; “The fear of having nothing is still there. I was in debt with student loans, I was working minimum wage and the rent was so high.”

Continuing she added; “I only got Derry Girls five years ago so it’s not that long since I’ve been able to go and buy a coffee and not have a panic attack.”

She continued; “So I reckon I’ll have a few more years of thinking ‘I hope I have some money in my bank account” and that it keeps her grounded; “You know what it’s like not to have all those things and you know how hard you’ve worked to get there.”

“So for me to even be on a set is a privilege, to get an audition is a privilege because for years I couldn’t even get in an audition room,” she added.

We are glad Nicola is getting the recognition she deserves and cannot wait to binge season two of bridgerton very soon!
