ITV Our House's Tuppence Middleton had 'confusing' bedtime routine as a child as a result of having OCD

Our House star Tuppence Middleton has revealed the bedtime routine that confused her mum when she was a child. The Bristol-born, Clevedon-raised actress has said she 'still battles with self-imposed routines' to this day as a result of dealing with obsessive compulsive disorder.

Last year, Tuppence conducted a series of interviews with the BBC which she opened with by discussing her experience of living with OCD, an experience she has since elaborated on in an interview with The Telegraph. In BBC's 'One to One' in May, the Downton Abbey star recalled: "I’m 11 years old. And like all 11 year olds, I hate going to bed.

"I avoid it using all manner of different distractions until my parents finally give me the marching order, and I say 'goodnight' to them before heading upstairs to my bedroom. I stop just short of the doorway and flick the lights on staring intently into the room.
