Speaking about her early experiences on the TV show on a BBC podcast, Scarlett said: “I was a professional couch potato, you’re making it sound easy.
“It was actually very difficult. Don’t take the mick. Do you know what was difficult?
“For example, you know Downton Abbey, we used to have to watch Downton Abbey, but ten minutes of it…
“I’d never watched Downton Abbey, like a full episode, and they show us ten minutes of like a man bleeding from the mouth and then I’m like, what’s going on? What’s happening? Who’s this?”
Aside from her appearances on our screens, Scarlett has also opened up about dealing with a terrifying incident when she was just 11 years old.
According to The Sun, Scarlett suffers from Bell’s Palsy, which causes her face to become paralysed temporarily down one side.

Scarlett’s Bells Palsy was triggered by an accident. When she was only 11 years old, she was knocked off her bike and smashed her two front teeth.
Speaking about the condition, Scarlett said: “I can’t close my left eye properly. I have to sleep with a little eye mask and my mouth still goes to the side when I talk, although people don’t really notice.
“Sometimes if I’m tired, my left eye feels a little bit twitchy, but I don’t get pain or slur my words.
“I don’t feel sorry for myself, as there are so many worse afflictions people can get.”
