Lesley Joseph may be famous for playing larger-than-life Dorien Green in the classic sitcom Birds Of A Feather, but when we chat to the 77-year-old actress, who’s currently on tour in Sister Act: The Musical, she is noticeably more subdued than her TV alter ego.
In fact, Lesley is the first to admit that her stint playing Mother Superior is taking its toll.
“I am a bit tired to be honest,” she tells Love Sunday over the phone. “Sometimes at the beginning of the week [the tiredness] is worse than at the end because you come back after a day off and your voice takes a while to get going again.”
