Nicola Walker

Her typing skills are non-existent so Spooks directors have to use 'hand-doubles' for her.

One of Nicola's first roles was in the hit film Four Weddings and a Funeral. She played a folk singer at one of the weddings, singing an appalling version of the Barry Manilow classic, Can't Smile Without You.

She won a Best Supporting Actress Theatregoers Choice award from Whatsonstage.com.

She used to share a flat with comedienne Emma Kennedy.

She is a huge Dolly Parton fan.
