Meg sent in a self-tape and the casting directors asked her to audition in person. In June, after several auditions – and beating thousands of other potential Kates – Meg was told she was in the final eight and was invited to a cast read-through at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire.

That reading “was the best day of my life,” she says. “I thought, ‘Even though I don’t get this, I’m just so glad I had this experience.'” Four months later, at 11:11 a.m. on an August day, she got a call from casting associate Kate Bone.
