‘I can't talk about It's a Sin WITHOUT CRYING'

Russell T Davies’ newest drama, It’s a Sin, has been praised for its heartbreaking portrayal of the HIV crisis of the 1980s. The C4 show has been leaving many viewers in tears, and Keeley Hawes – who plays lead character Ritchie’s mum, ValerieTozer – is just one of them.

The 45-year-old confessed she cried just reading the script and has become so invested in the show that she continues to get emotional speaking about it now. At a press conference, Keeley wipes away tears, saying, ‘It has become apparent that I can’t talk about the show without crying… I can’t talk about the cast and how gorgeous and generous they were with me. I can’t talk about the characters… You carry them with you, they don’t leave you, and that is down to the cast, down to their performances and down to Russell’s writing.’
