She's an Ely-raised, Bafta-winning Cardiff actress who's played powerful, strong women on screen and The Pact star, Rakie Ayola, has proved she's a force to be reckoned in real life too, after her measured takedown of those who say the BBC drama show's second series shows a 'woke version of a Welsh family’.
On BBC Breakfast on Monday, October 24, it was put to Rakie, who took home a Bafta for her role in Anthony last year, that having a black, Welsh family front and centre The Pact's second series could be described as 'woke'.
Presenter, Victoria Fitz, who'd already had an awkward morning with Harry Hill on the sofa, put it to the Noughts + Crosses star that: "There are some people who will see this and say it is a woke version of a Welsh family."
