Erin's love life
During her conversation with Elizabeth Day, the star opened up about coming to terms with her sexuality. Erin noted that it was her "mind-blowing" relationship with a woman at the age of 25 that made her realise she was gay.
"It took me a really, really long time to finally get to the point where I was like, 'Oh, I'm gay'," she explained. "I never really was ready to carve out that path for myself, even though, looking back, I always knew that my relationships with men weren't satisfying in that wholehearted way that I wanted them to be.
"I wouldn't change it because it's really made me adore that part and really cherish it."
Her career
Erin shot to international fame playing the no-nonsense Princess Anne in the third and fourth seasons of the popular Netflix show The Crown, earning critical praise for her performance.
She has since landed roles in Disney+ series A Thousand Blows and the acclaimed Netflix limited series Adolescence.
