Actress Nicola Coughlan has spoken of the difficulties of dealing with fame and the negative side of social media which has seen opinions thrown at her like “grenades”.

The 37-year-old Galway-born star is known for playing self-conscious Penelope Featherington in Netflix Regency drama Bridgerton and naive Clare Devlin in Northern Ireland-set comedy Derry Girls, as well as one of the dolls featured in the Barbie movie.
