Yasmin Finney still suffers from body image issues

The 19-year-old star loves working in the TV business - but she also recognises the need to "let [her] hair down" from time to time.

Yasmin - who will play Rose in 'Doctor Who's 60th anniversary series - told Vogue: "When you’re in this industry you have so many hands on you and so many people in your ear, which is why it’s so important to have time to yourself.

"Anything can be a form of self-care, anything that makes you happy, whether that’s hanging out with your friends or chosen family or putting a face mask on or making yourself a gorgeous herbal tea.

"I just got a dog called Coco and I love spending time with her.

"Rest is also really important. It’s just a break from the stresses of the industry. It’s an amazing industry but it’s stressful. You always want to bring your A-game, so it’s important to have time where you can let your hair down."

Yasmin actually developed a following on TikTok - where she discussed her experiences as a black trans woman - before she made her acting breakthrough.

The TV star explained that in spite of her recent success, she still suffers from body image issues.

She shared: "As long as you have confidence in yourself, and as long as you look in the mirror and you think, ‘I’m gorgeous,’ that’s the only thing that matters.

"I still suffer with things like body image [issues] and I have gender dysphoria, which is what most trans people have. It’s hard to navigate the world when you look at yourself in the mirror and don’t see what you want to see. But the reality is beauty is more than skin deep."
