Speaking to The Sun, the 36-year-old actress – who welcomed a daughter via surrogacy in January – admitted that she “struggled” to balance life as a new mum while filming the latest season of Netflix hit series.

“You have a different purpose and it’s really tough… It’s a struggle and I’m just so grateful to be able to do both,” Lily shared.

The daughter of Phil Collins went on to share, “I said to everyone this year, ‘I’m really good with memorisation, I’m really good with knowing my lines’, but this year give me some grace.”

“I’ve not slept, I’m very tired and I may not be on my game,” she added.
