Phoebe Dynevor has revealed the supportive words her famous mum shared with her after her hit drama Bridgerton became a huge streaming success.
The 28-year-old actress’ career was launched into the stratosphere thanks to her role as Daphne Basset, Duchess of Hastings, in the Netflix period drama.
Luckily, Phoebe’s mother Sally, 60, is used to fame due to her role as Sally Metcalfe in Coronation Street as she told her eldest daughter to ‘just enjoy it’.
The actress has starred in the ITV soap since 1986 and was able to offer her daughter some words of wisdom on how to cope with her newfound celebrity status.
Speaking in an interview with to ELLE UK Phoebe said: ‘My mum’s best advice has been to just enjoy it all.

‘There was a certain point with ‘Bridgerton’ where I was over-analysing everything and my mum told me to just embrace it all, and not to be terrified of it.
‘Fame doesn’t do great things to people in the public eye – particularly men! She’s really helped me navigate it all.’
Phoebe comes from an acting family, as her grandmother Shirley Dynevor was a theatre and television actress and her dad Tim Dynevor is also an actor-and-screenwriter.
The Fair Play star can remember visiting the set of Coronation Street as a child, where her grandmother Shirley worked as a stage manager for 15 years.
She also revealed her mum Sally would invite her castmates back to the family home as she admitted she was ‘in awe of it all’.
‘I grew up outside of Manchester. My grandma was an actress, as well as my dad and my mum. So I’ve been surrounded by creativity from day one.
‘When I was younger, we would go on set a lot, and I got used to seeing people from TV come to our house.
‘I was in awe of it all and loved seeing the family that people built on set and how everyone worked in very different jobs to create something.’

Despite her celebrity status, Phoebe insisted she is much happier being at home rather than on the red carpet as she described herself as a ‘real hermit’.
The star explained: ‘Day to day I’m very low key though. I’m happiest at home in my tracksuit and I never leave my neighbourhood in North London.
‘I have my little coffee place that I go to every day and I read and I’m a real hermit!’
And Phoebe’s success is showing no sign of slowing down after she was nominated for a BAFTA EE Rising Star Award last month.
Discussing what it means to be a BAFTA nominee she said: ‘I didn’t get success overnight. It seems that way with Bridgerton but it’s been a really long journey to get here and that’s what makes the BAFTA nomination all the more gratifying.’
The star also revealed Sally will be accompanying her to the prestigious awards ceremony as her plus one: ‘I find awards shows terrifying – imposter syndrome is a real thing! They’re really scary but also very exciting because you’re in a room full of incredible people.
‘I’m already planning my outfit for the BAFTAs. I work with Louis Vuitton and I have two dresses to choose from.
‘I’ll take my mum as my plus one. I want to be present and soak it all up because that moment will never happen again. I’m the type of person who doesn’t believe that I’ll win so I probably won’t write a speech and then I’ll have to wing it.’
