The actress opened up about her role in the hit movie while attending the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday, February 19, 2023, in London.
According to Jodie Turner-Smith:
“You may have seen me on a Netflix show called Sex Education.”
When asked how this happened, she said Ncuti Gatwa was the driving force behind the decision. Not revealing much about her character, the actress said she will marry Gatwa Eric.
As reported by Variety, the 36-year-old British actor added:
“First and foremost, all my moments are with Ncuti Gatw, who I’m DEATH with and my favorite character on the show… So when he calls me and falls in love asked me to do it, I told him, “I don’t. I don’t care how much they pay, I do it.”
According to reports, her character will be Eric’s cousin and will be stationed in the UK, Nigeria or Ghana. Turner-Smith isn’t the only newcomer to the cast. Among the newcomers are:
Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek), Thaddea Graham (Curf, We), Marie Reuther (Kamikaze), Felix Mufti, Anthony Lexa, Alexandra James, Imani Yahshua.
