She’s one of Britain’s best-loved actresses, so when Angela Griffin reveals that she suffers from imposter syndrome, we can barely believe our ears.
Despite launching her career with a six-year stint as Coronation Street hairdresser Fiona Middleton and starring in dramas such as Cutting It and Holby City, Angela, 47, says she still has days when she suffers a crisis of confidence. “I’ve 100% got imposter syndrome, but I’m learning to fight it,” she admits as we chat over Zoom. “I have a whole thing about class and about where I come from.
You can’t help it when you’re from a working class background, because you get told and shown where you’re supposed to go in life.
