Vicky McClure says she feels a “responsibility” to be “real and human” onscreen so that people can learn to be comfortable with themselves.
The Line Of Duty star, 38, said there was “so much pressure” in everyday life, made worse by social media.
Bafta-nominated McClure is set to start in a new bomb disposal drama Trigger Point, produced by Jed Mercurio, and did not wear make-up the entire time while filming.
