Jane Horrocks has been wowing us for years with her versatility as an actress.  The range of work - from Life is Sweet, The Rise and Fall of Little Voice to Chicken Run, Fifi and the Flowertots and Trollied - has earned her the reputation for being incredibly touching, funny, courageous and always willing to push the boundaries. After almost 25 years of playing Bubble in Absolutely Fabulous on television, this week she was on the gold carpet in Leicester Square for the premier of Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie, now on national release. 

This autumn, Jane is appearing at the Old Vic Theatre as Regan in King Lear, with Glenda Jackson in the title role. 

Jane did the Hoffman Process in 2015. Here's what she says:
'I got to a point where I was stuck in my life and didn't know where I wanted to go. I had lost touch with my fun self. I found the Process very moving. One of the reasons I did it was I lost touch with my younger self and I felt bogged down by being a grown up and a parent. 

People go to the Process at rock bottom, but by the end you're elevated not only by yourself but by other people's honesty and courage. You emerge a more aware, happy person and more conscious of what you can achieve in the future. When I finished I didn't feel frightened by joining the real world, it was lovely to share it with my family.

Creatively I feel much brighter, and lighter and excited by things, and that's what the Process encourages you to do, to break down old habits and go out and try something new.'
