«Breaking News» Jodie Comer reveals being kicked out of girl band as a teen led to her career as an actress

Jodie Comer has told how being kicked out of a girl group during her teenage years led to her success as an actress.

The Liverpool native, 25, has become known to audiences worldwide for her role as skilled assassin Villanelle on BBC America's Killing Eve.

However, the TV star originally considered a career in music and first got a taste for performing when she was in a girl band.

Jodie told how in the middle of rehearsals for a school talent show, she went on holiday with her family.

She was then informed by the other members of the group that she could no longer take part because she missed too many rehearsals.

Although upset, Jodie decided to re-enter the talent show as a solo act and performed a dramatic monologue upon the encouragement of her mother.    

She told The Mirror: 'You know when you’re a kid and you’re so upset you lose your breath? I remember going up to my mum and being so distraught.

'She was like, "Why don’t you go back and ask your drama teacher if you can do your monologue? Do your own thing".'

A few months later, she auditioned to play a young girl in a BBC Radio 4 drama. 

Speaking on the Two Shots podcast, Jodie admitted that was taken aback by the international success of Killing Eve.  

The series, which also stars Sandra Oh in the title role, follows MI5 officer Eve Polastri as she becomes obsessed with hunting the mysterious assassin known as Villanelle.

Jodie said: 'If someone said to me last year that people would be dressing as Villanelle for Halloween I would have said, "Shut up!"

'It’s been so amazing to be a part of something that has resonated with people and people have enjoyed.

'People always ask me what the message is with Killing Eve. There isn’t one, you just have fun with it. I think that’s what people have enjoyed so much. I’ve never been part of a show which has had such a huge response.'

The actress is very close with her family and when she's not filming Killing Eve in London or Europe, she travels back to Liverpool to stay with her mother.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
