The Star Wars actor takes your questions on the terror of cooking on TV, saving lives via a CPR video and dealing with crises

How much training did you do for Young Woman and the Sea? Wasn’t the sea cold? Closey29
Incredibly cold. I did three months training, then nine days filming in the Black Sea in Bulgaria. Each time I got in, there was an overwhelming feeling of cold, terror and “how am I going to do this?”. There was a lot of extra pretending, playing someone who loves open-water swimming when I’m not an open-water swimmer.

What did you learn about yourself from making a cake in the shape of a toilet on The Great Celebrity Bake Off? TopTramp
I learned to give myself grace because I’m actually a really good baker. It was a toss-up and I lost. I love Bake Off so much, but you cannot imagine the stress of that tent. No one is sitting around. Everyone is working up to the wire. Each time they come to talk to you, you think: “Oh my God, I can’t stop,” even if it’s Paul Hollywood. I made a toilet because that represented my bugbear. I was watching How Clean Is Your House?, where they showed how if you flush the toilet with the lid up, it’s unhygienic beyond belief. My family continues to find it hilarious. So if I brought some happiness to some people, great.
