Why she might be annoying:

    She considers herself to be insecure.
    Shortly after her mother died, she spent her fee from an Inspector Morse filming on a Versace jacket.
    Asked what love feels like, she answered, ‘A mental illness.’
    While working in a chicken factory, a botched fluid injection blinded her co-worker for a good hour – and turned her off frozen chicken.
    In response to her claims of a cold night, the driver of the Uber cab assigned to take her home from an awards show at London’s Old Vic called her ‘disgustingly dressed’ — in her full black ensemble.
    At just over five-foot-four, she stands in stark contrast to the five-ten Karen Gillan.

Why she might not be annoying:

    When her hair is let down, she resembles Jackie Collins.
    During a train trip, shortly after her brother died, she fought off an intruder who broke into her cabin to rape her.
    She is a close friend of Ian McKellen, who funded a library in her name in India.
    One of the most epic death scenes in the Whoniverse: abandoned, begging for her life, and finding herself at the mercy of the very woman whose family life she wrecked. Oh, and the Doctor wasn’t around, so too bad.
    ‘The Grim Reaper’s out there waiting for us all. There’s no point not having a laugh along the way.’
