Surrey-born Dylan Llewellyn, 29, took up acting in his teens while attending a specialist school for children with autism, dyslexia and developmental disorders. His TV credits include Call the Midwife, Holby City and Hollyoaks. He’s best known for playing James Maguire in the award-winning comedy Derry Girls, which recently returned for its third and final series.

Going into the final series of Derry Girls, how does it feel?
Bittersweet. Very mixed emotions. The show has been such a huge part of my life and has helped me loads personally. So I’m sad it’s the end of an era, but happy because [creator] Lisa McGee has written such a perfect ending. It feels like the right time to stop. Quality, not quantity.
