Leeds actress Adjoa Andoh, who plays Bridgerton's straight-talking Lady Danbury, has told how she often felt singled out during her childhood after moving from the city.
The much-lauded actress says she now feels touched when she receives pictures from young black children dressed up in regency dresses inspired by the hit Netflix show. She is currently starring in spin-ff show Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story on the popular streaming platform.
Adjoa was raised in a farming community in Gloucestershire and was the only black girl for miles around, with a strong Yorkshire accent. The Mirror reports that often made her feel singled out.
