Phoebe Dynevor

If at first you don't succeed... be more like Hannah Dodd, about to be catapulted to stardom in the forthcoming third series of the costume romp Bridgerton. Hannah, 28, who a couple of years ago lost out in a battle for a key part in the Netflix drama, has now grabbed her chance to take over the role of Francesca, one of the eight siblings who feature in the series, set in early 19th Century London.  Actress Ruby Stokes, seen only in glimpses as Francesca in the first two series, had to bow out because of other filming commitments - and Hannah steps in just as Francesca takes centre stage in the new episodes.

Imagine doing audition after audition for a role in Bridgerton, only to lose out to actress Ruby Stokes for the role of Francesca in a gut-wrenching final round. Imagine watching it turn into one of Netflix's biggest shows while you remain stuck in sophie heawan admin job, juggling spreadsheets.
