Which beauty products do you swear by?
I love Dermalogica and use their Precleanse and UltraCalming mist, which are great as I havesensitive skin and wear a lot of make–up for work.
What are your make–up essentials?
Jane Iredale's PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation is amazing. I also wear SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50, which is a tinted sunscreen, and Bobbi Brown Blush in Apricot to give me some colour as I am so pale.
What's your favourite fragrance?
Agent Provocateur Eau De Parfum. It's feminine without being too foral and I've been wearing it for about seven years.
You play an alien in your new show Defiance. What was it like having to transform your whole look?
In the show I have long grey hair, lilac contact lenses and am even paler than I am normally! I had a bit of a shock when I saw myself at frst. It takes about two hours to get on, but it makes it really easy to get into character when you look that different.
How do you pamper yourself?
I like a hot bath or geting a deep–tissue massage. You can't beat sleep, either.
Do you diet?
No. I really love to eat so exercise is important for me.
How do you stay in shape?
I take spinning classes. I thought I was going to die afer my frst class, but afer a while it becomes addictive.

I love the style of Kate Bosworth, Miranda Kerr and Rosie Huntington–Whiteley.
How would you describe your style?
Desperately trying to be like Kate, Miranda and Rosie!

Have you had any fashion disasters?
All the time! Just the other day, I was about to be interviewed live on TV by Lorraine Kelly and realised the leather trousers I was wearing had a huge tear in them. I had to keep my legs carefully crossed throughout!
