Actress Tuppence Middleton is perhaps best known for playing Lucy Branson in Downton Abbey.
She has a little girl with her Swedish husband and divides her time between England and Sweden.
I spoke to Tuppence the week before her memoir Scorpions was published. It’s a highly personal book about living with OCD and it really helped me understand the day to day complexities of dealing with OCD and with emetophobia - the fear of being sick.
We also talked about how OCD has given her a greater empathy for other people, and how it means she is always prepared for the worst case scenario.
Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.
