Jessica Brown Findlay sleeps with a “pillow human” when she’s by herself.

The ‘Flatshare’ actress – who’s married to Ziggy Heath – all the time sleeps on one explicit facet of the mattress and if she’s away from work, she crafts a companion to share together with her so she does not really feel “so alone”.

She admitted: “The side on which I sleep is very important. I tried to switch it up and I hated it. I thought, ‘This isn’t who I am.’

“I similar to having all my issues on one facet.

“However, it’s weird. Even when I’m in bed alone, I’ve noticed I still sleep on my side.

“If it’s a long-term factor, I’ll usually create a pillow human after which I don’t really feel so alone.”

In ‘The Flatshare’, Jessica plays writer Tiffany, who shares a room with Leon (Anthony Welsh), but the pair work opposite shifts so have no reason for their paths to cross other than via the post-it notes they swap.

And the 33-year-old star thinks it is an arrangement that could work for her, so long as she could make the room feel like her own space.

She said: “I believe I might be tremendous. I might fear for the flatmate. It must really feel like my area.

“When I’m staying in places, all my drawing equipment comes with me.

“I’m an incredible prepare dinner so I believe we’d get on as a result of I all the time prepare dinner greater than I want, so there would all the time be a Tupperware stuffed with one thing.”

Jessica found working on the show very “exposing” because she could see so many similarities between herself and her character.

She admitted: “One of my preliminary notes was, ‘Terrifyingly like me.’

“The more I did this series, the more I realised that Tiffany and I are very close.

“Sometimes, there are such a lot of layers to a personality that require you so as to add or takeaway whereas for this, it felt very exposing to attach with a personality who felt very near me.

“It required me to be very trusting with the directors so that I could exist in that space and be exposing in that way.”
