Asked what attracted her to the series, Eve said: “If I get scared about something, I know it’s absolutely for me and that it’s the next thing I should do. If I read something or get involved in something and feel comfortable, then I’ve already done it, so it’s time to move on. There are issues in this particular piece that I felt I wanted to give voice to. The tone and vision Richard Laxton created was intoxicating. Everything came together like a chemistry set, hopefully we’ve created a story people really invest in.”
But what else has Eve starred in? Here’s everything you need to know.

Eve and Bradley tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in Italy in 2013. The wedding was so exclusive that it only had one guest – their then three year old daughter Matilda.
The 2013 wedding was a long-time coming for Eve and Bradley, who first crossed paths at the National Youth Theatre during the 1990s and had been dating for 15 years before getting married.
“It was heaven on earth,” Eve told WalesOnline a month after the ceremony. “I’d put my wedding off three times because of work commitments. This time I said we’re not putting it off this time, we’re getting married this year.”
Gone continues on ITV on Sunday and Monday nights at 9pm.
