Channel 4 Derry Girls' Siobhán McSweeney says wearing habit on show was 'a disaster'

Derry Girls fans are finally being treated to the third series of the Northern Irish sitcom this week. The pandemic caused the third instalment of the beloved Channel 4 show to be postponed by two years, but the wait will end tomorrow.

As much as viewers are excited to see the first episode of the third series, it will certainly be a bittersweet moment, as this is the final series of Lisa McGee's 90s schoolgirl comedy. Siobhán McSweeney, who has played the role of Sister Michael for five years, has said that hanging her habit up 'broke her heart', reports Metro.co.uk.

McSweeney, who is from the Irish city of Cork, will appear on our screens as the reliably sassy and cynical Sister Michael for the last time this week. Although she says that the end of the show is devastating, she believes it is well-timed - some series are dragged out and end without their dignity.
