Eleanor rose to fame in the teen film Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging in 2008 before landing the role of Demelza Poldark alongside Aidan Turner in BBC drama Poldark. While she previously dated her Poldark co-star Harry Richardson between June 2017 and June 2018 and was once romantically linked to Aidan Turner’s stunt double Ben Atkinson, she eventually found love with rugby player Will and the couple married in 2022. In recent years, Eleanor has taken on roles in shows like Netflix hit One Day as Sylvie Cope and Channel 4 thriller The Couple Next Door. She also played Lady Gabby Penrose-Howe in BBC One comedy The Outlaws, which has aired since 2021. Speaking last year about working on The Couple Next Door, Eleanor praised her co-star Jessica De Gouw. “Oh Jessica, what a woman,” she said. “She and I worked very closely on creating the bond between us, which is somewhat the gateway to all of this that sort of ensues.”

As for why she took on the role of Evie in the drama, Eleanor said that she wanted to move away from the characters she has portrayed in other projects. “Evie, she’s very complicated,” said Eleanor. “I wanted to somewhat break away from what I’m known for. That’s what I always strive for and this was a real challenge to kind of flex some muscles.” “I think it’s incredibly rare to get a cast of four people who got on so well immediately,” she added. “So there was really no building of trust. It was already there, and we just had a hoot. We speak pretty much every day, even now.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
