To many, Welsh actress Kimberley Nixon will best be known for her role as pharmacology student Josephine ‘Josie’ Jones in Channel 4 comedy-drama Fresh Meat. Speaking on WalesOnline’s podcast In The Spotlight, the 37-year-old, who was born in Bristol but raised in Pontypridd, described how she initially thought there was “no way” she’d land a role in the popular series.
“When I first got the Fresh Meat audition through, I thought that there was no way I’d get it because I’d done period dramas and never tried comedy before. I do have a secret love of British comedy, though, and that’s my own personal taste.
“When I got the chance to work with Sam [Bain] and Jesse [Armstrong] on Fresh Meat because they’d done Peep Show, which I was a huge fan of, I kind of went to the audition just to meet them. It got out of hand from there and my character Josie became Welsh.” Listen to the podcast with Kimberley below.
