You've known each other since you were ten years old. You've both been in the business, so were there ever times when you felt a bit jealous of your success?" Linda then responded: "I won't say that I felt jealous of her success, but sometimes I thought, 'Oh, I'd love to have a part like that,' because she'd done some amazing things in the past like Broadchurch and lots of other different things." She continued: "So, I've never been jealous of it but I just often thought I'd have loved to have gotten that part myself, and I've even told her that as well."
