She says: ‘I just wanted to say that there were some photos posted online last week supposedly of me, stolen from me in some mass hack.
‘I just want to say that, even though I have no issue with whatever it is that person is supposed to be doing in the photo, it’s not me. No. So, don’t w**k to lies, kids.’
As the fallout continues, Suzie and her best friend and manager Naomi (Leila Farzad) try to hold her life, career and marriage to Cob (Daniel Ings) together.

Speaking to the Evening Standard, the actress explained she wrote the film ‘at a time when I felt like the world was telling us [women] we could have it all and I was trying to experience that myself.’
She told the publication: ‘I started writing it at 30, which is when I feel like I had a rude awakening. All I could see around me was common casualties, certainly in women. I too was finding it… I was floundering.’
‘Because it is a wonderful idea. But quite often the reality is that it is incredibly hard and stressful.
‘And I’ve personally seen the uglier side of that. And I didn’t feel like anyone was talking about that with full transparency.’
I Hate Suzie is coming to Sky Atlantic and NOW TV later in 2020.
