God that's awful, 52 is so young. I always liked her, I imagine she'd be great fun as a friend. Dreadful news.

Such a shock, so young, one of my favourite actors. She plays such a central role in Peaky Blinders I don't how it'll continue without her Sad

How awful. She was brilliant. Far too young.

She was fantastic in everything she did. Her poor family.

Absolutely tragic, she is such a wonderful actor. No idea she was ill.

I've been in the habit of replaying random episodes of MotherFatherSon just to watch her. I can't think of a performer who's brought me more joy. Loved her in Peaky Blinders, loved her in everything.

This is such sad news. She was so talented and brilliant in anything she acted in. She steals every scene in Peaky Blinders.

Oh dear lord. So very sorry to read that. I first saw her in Anna Karenina, and have been a fan ever since.

RIP, you marvellous actor.

I can’t believe this 💔
I’ve been saddened by numerous stories since last Friday when the Duke of Edinburgh passed.
Life is so cruel sometimes x
