Speaking on Good Morning Britain, the 33 year old said: “I had a poppy on funnily enough and I was wearing a dress that was like crepe paper basically and as I was going on I looked down - it was tearing at the dress and they’d said my name and so I whipped it off.
“It’s unfortunate it’s been made such a huge kind of… it’s really snowballed apparently and of course I don’t think there is anyone in this country that isn’t grateful and respectful and never would want to cause offence and wear a poppy all the time but people kind of focus on things enough to pick at the negative. It seems a little extreme.”
The actress added that she filmed a number of interviews about her new film*, Burnt,* a long time ago that will air this week, and she’s worried people will criticise her for not having a poppy on again.
“Also, there’s another show I’m worried about coming out because we pre-recorded it, where we are probably not wearing poppies but some of these things are filmed weeks before they air. But you can’t please everyone and I meant no disrespect. Of course I didn’t.”
