As our obsession with Normal People continues, we simply can't get enough of its stars, Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones. The pair are talented, gorgeous and have electric chemistry, and they've also been exhibiting their incredible style. But let's not forget that they're talented actors too. We've been looking back at Daisy's career, and at the TV and theatre roles that prepared her for the juggernaut that was Normal People.

So, if you watched all 12 episodes but couldn't place how you knew her face, or if you're just looking for a new fix, here is where you may have seen her before.

Three's A Crowd, More Is Outnumbered

Before her perfect cut and enviable fringe, Daisy was a little more blonde in a 2016 appearance in the BBC's hit comedy, Outnumbered.

Witness the Fitness

Again with the blonde. Like many young actors, Daisy has cut her teeth in police procedurals - but is too young to have been acting when The Bill was on air. So she popped up in forensic drama Silent Witness instead, in 2017.

Treading the boards

Daisy played the role of Zara in 2020's revival of the 2017 hit Albion, by Mike Bartlett. It was lauded by many as the play of the year, and Daisy was praised for bringing a 'post-teenage grump and wide-eyed zeal for life to the role.'

Cold Feet, Warmly Received

Before Normal People, Daisy was probably best known for her role in Cold Feet. As Olivia - daughter of Karen and David - she brought drama and tears through her moving pregnancy storyline.

The name's Jack. Gentleman Jack.

We love a good period romp. Daisy must, too. She popped up in two episodes of the wildly fun show, Gentleman Jack.

War, What Is It Good For?

The fringe showed its face - do fringes have faces? - in last year's sci fi reimagining War Of The Worlds. Daisy played Emily Gresham, a teenager affected by an invasion.
