Suranne Jones says playing lesbian character in Gentleman Jack 'changed people's lives'

Suranne Jones loves the fact that her Gentleman Jack character has become a global gay icon and “changed people’s lives”.

And she is back as the lesbian landowner for series two on BBC One tomorrow night.

Suranne, 43, said: “The fact that it’s changed people’s lives is extraordinary. This is something that can start a conversation with people that perhaps they wouldn’t have had tools to do before. So it’s an amazing thing to be part of.”
