Adolescence star Erin Doherty recalls being left 'unsatisfied' dating men before one 'mind-blowing' relationship with a woman helped her finally come to terms with her sexuality


The 32-year-old, who is in a relationship with fellow actress Sophie Melville, 34, said she'd been been a 'people pleaser' and had boyfriends in a bid to fit in.

Erin, who plays Briony Ariston in the smash hit Netflix series, went on to discuss her sexuality saying: 'It took me a really, really long time to finally get to the point where I was like "Oh, I'm gay"'. Owen admitted seeing Tom Holland, 28, in disaster drama The Impossible, based on the events of the 2004 Thailand Tsunami, which made him want to be an actor and now dreams of replacing his idol as Spiderman in the Marvel Universe. In Adolescence the young star's perfomance has gained plaudits and calls for a BAFTA nomination, but Owen admitted being left surprised after receiving equally supportive messages from his mates back home in Warrington.
