Suranne Jones on I Am Victoria and Mental Health Issues | Happy Place Podcast

Suranne Jones went through a lot the last few years: her mother passed away shortly after the birth of her son and her father died last January after fighting Covid-19.

In this chat, Suranne Jones speaks to Fearne about the deeply personal inspiration behind the character of Victoria, how she used her own battles with anxiety and depression to bring the story to life and her own experience of mental health.

Suranne Jones opens up about her battle with her own demons, and the importance of talking about mental health in all its aspects, whether it's going to therapy or taking medication.

What did you think of this week's episode? Is there anything that resonated with you? What do you think we can all do on our part to normalise talking about mental health?

Suranne Jones is an English actress and producer. She has garnered fame for playing the role of Ruth Slater in the miniseries 'Unforgiven', Detective Rachel Bailey in the police procedural drama 'Scott & Bailey', and GP Gema Foster in the medical drama 'Doctor Foster.' At the moment, Suranne Jones portrays Victoria in Channel 4's I Am Victoria, a woman who appears to have a perfect life, but the pressure she feels is becoming unbearable.

I Am Victoria is available to watch now on All4.
