KILLING Eve's Jodie Comer revealed that she feels "self-conscious" when told to be "sexy or attractive."

The actress opened up about having confidence issues and said she feels most comfortable when wearing "no make-up and bruises" on-set.

The 27-year-old stars in the BBC series as assassin Villanelle, alongside Sandra Oh, who plays MI5 agent Eve Polastri.

Jodie explained to Allure Magazine: "It’s like the moment you have to be sexy or attractive on screen, I become so self-conscious."

She added: "Whereas if I’ve got no makeup on and I’ve got a bruise on my face, I’m like, 'Let’s go.' You know? But that’s just me."

The third series of Killing Eve will make its way to screens much sooner than previously anticipated, as The Beeb have confirmed the show has been brought forward by two whole weeks.

Fans can start watching the show from the 13th April on BBC iPlayer, before it airs weekly on Sunday nights on BBC One from April 19th.

Ahead of the series premiere, without giving too much away, Jodie revealed that the show would be exploring her character's past more than ever.

The star told British Vogue: "The audience love what they love about her, but it’s been nice to show a different side to that. Maybe a little bit of vulnerability."

The Scouse star has had a stab at modelling in a beauty campaign for a skincare firm and is now a global brand ambassador for Noble Panacea.

She posed for a photo shoot with Harry and Megan’s official wedding photographer, Alexi Lubomirski, 45.

The Emmy award-winning actress spoke about the partnership and said: “I’m so excited about this collaboration with Noble Panacea and this is the very start of the journey.

"Beauty is more than aesthetics.”

The news comes as a teaser trailer was released which shows assassin Villanelle dressed as a clown.

Season three will pick up from the finale of series two, in which MI5 agent Eve was gunned down by Villanelle.

The female-led spy drama will be available to stream on BBC iPlayer on 13 April, and every Sunday night on BBC One from 19th April.
