The 26-year-old actress - who plays Aimee Gibbs in the hit Netflix show - has revealed she's in talks about contributing to a script for a possible fourth series.

Speaking as part of a BAFTA TV Awards 2021 Q&A, she said: “I’m actually talking about a storyline for season four at the moment that I’m giving some feedback on.

"But yeah, no, we do [talk to the writers], and also Ben [Taylor], our director. Every scene we do [he] let’s us improvise at the end and just keeps the cameras going, which is so fun and lots of it does make it into the show.

"But I’d love to be in the writer’s room for [season four] - saying that here. But then again … I’d also like to just go home and learn my lines!”

Aimee also teased that the season three finale will be as climatic as the season two ending.

The actress admits writing season four "will be a challenge", adding: "I’m intrigued as to what’s going to happen next because the ending… well, I can’t say."

Meanwhile, Aimee has admitted to being overwhelmed by the response she's received from fans about her character's sexual assault storyline.

She explained: “It was quite overwhelming because obviously a lot of people when they spend kind of eight hours in bed watching someone, they feel very close to you and the character, so that had a lot of responses that, really, it was upsetting how many people had this exact thing happen to [them] - so alarming but also really beautiful because it felt like people were opening up.

"I’ve had amazing conversations with people like in the street or getting coffee that never would have happened if it wasn’t for this storyline, so it was an incredible response."
