She may have starred in Emmerdale and Waterloo Road, but it's nothing compared to a world stage.

And tonight Jenna-Louise Coleman was under the microscope at the Titanic 3D premiere.

Everything she once got away with was now scrutinised as she rubbed shoulders with the likes of Kate Winslet, James Cameron and Billy Zane - sadly for her, there was no sign of Leonardo DiCaprio.

Ex-Emmerdale star Jenna-Louise Coleman, best known as the Dale's Jasmine Thomas, has landed a role in a new ITV drama marking the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the HMS Titanic.

Titanic, an epic 4 x 1 hour mini series is written by Julian Fellowes, the Oscar winning screenwriter of ITV1's hit costume drama Downton Abbey as well as Gosford Park and The Young Victoria.

Jenna on her move to Waterloo Road

2009-11-01T21:10:00.001Z

TV Times talks to ex-Emmerdale star Jenna Louise Coleman about her new role as a posh pupil in Waterloo Road...

Did you enjoy school?

"I absolutely loved it! It was the best time in my life so far I would say. I was Head Girl, which I enjoyed, but of course it meant you always had to be on your best behaviour!"

What was it like going back into the classroom at age 23?

"It was surreal sitting in a classroom doing chemistry lessons again! And it felt weird putting on the uniform. At my school we didn’t wear uniforms in Sixth Form so I haven’t worn one since I was 16. My school uniform was a bottle-green colour and we didn’t wear ties as we had dicky bows. So I didn’t know how to do up Lindsay’s tie and had to get someone in the costume department to teach me!"

You did well in your exams (straight As in her A-levels) but what were your reports like?

"They said: 'She needs to stop doing all the drama and concentrate on her work a bit more and then she’ll be fine!'”

What about your new character Lindsay?

"She’s completely different to Jasmine Thomas, my Emmerdale character. She’s a hard nut to crack and a tormented soul whereas Jasmine wore her heart on her sleeve and just cried all the time! I loved the character straight away. I can’t say too much, but Lindsay’s harbouring a dark secret connected with her home life, which won’t be revealed for quite a while..."

Apparently there is quickly a rivalry between you and Michaela, played (Zarah Abrahams)...

“Yes. We have had a few fights. They didn’t want them to look too choreographed so they gave Zarah and I free reign and let us scratch, pull each others’ hair and try to throw each other on the floor! We’ve had four big catfights to do and, in a weird way, they were really fun!"

Jenna Louise Coleman Back to School

2009-10-23T18:18:00.002+01:00

The new term begins with hit drama Waterloo Road which returns with new faces Tom Chambers and Jenna-Louise Coleman joining the cast (Wed, 8pm, BBC1).

And Jenna-Louise - famous for playing Emmerdale murderess Jasmine Thomas - gives us the low-down on her character mean girl Lindsay James, who packs a punch, quite literally, when she arrives at the school.

"Lindsay is quite tough, which is nice," says Jen, "but playing her can be a bit painful. I have lots of fight scenes and I've got loads of bruises."

Jenna Louise Coleman Panto

2009-09-16T14:07:00.005+01:00

It's just two and a half months until panto season starts at the Theatre Royal. Oh yes it is. As the stars of the show arrived in Nottingham this week to launch the production, Jennifer Scott met them

There may be no Prince Charming in this year's Theatre Royal pantomime, but the show stars an actor who certainly possesses charm by the bucketload.

Suave smoothie Nigel Havers is, of course, known for his '80s TV role as The Charmer, as well as a catalogue of period pieces including Empire Of The Sun and the Oscar-winning Chariots Of Fire.

However, his character in this year's panto – he plays the evil Fleshcreep in Jack and the Beanstalk – is more villainous cad than winningly rakish Englishman.

"Most actors prefer being villains," he said, as he arrived in Nottingham yesterday, together with an animatronic giant and a sprawling beanstalk to launch the panto.

"There's just more to do. It's hard work being charming all the time. I have my own way of dealing with children who boo me. I bring them up on stage and turn them upside down and give them a good shake. That usually fixes it!"

Nigel, 57, admits he has his work cut out to rival last year's record-breaking production of Cinderella which starred Brian Conley. "He's very good, isn't he?" sighed Nigel, a friend of Brian's.

However, he claims he is more than ready for the challenge. "I promise it will be a great show," he said. "We will break the box office records again. If we don't, I shall be having words with Brian!"

Luckily, he's not without support. Paul Zerdin, who has worked alongside Nigel in panto before, was part of the cast of last year's record-breaking panto in Birmingham. Paul's ventriloquism talent has seen him win fans throughout the world and he even landed a spot on The Jerry Springer Show.

Paul is an unabashed family entertainer who says he is looking forward to playing Jack – together with his regular "sidekick" Sam.

"I love panto – there's nothing else like it," he said. "There used to be a lot of snobbery among entertainers about doing pantomimes but I honestly think it's one of the greatest forms of entertainment."

Adding glamour to the line-up is Emmerdale star Jenna Louise Coleman, who will play Princess Apricot. It is Jenna's first adult panto role and she says she's hoping some of her former Emmerdale colleagues – including her boyfriend Karl Davies, who played Robert Sugden – will come along to lend rousing support.

And Andrew Ryan is set to play Dame Trot in frantically sequined costumes and metre-high wigs.

"We're really thrilled with the cast we've assembled this year," said executive producer Michael Harrison. "It doesn't seem five minutes since we were bringing the curtain down on Brian Conley but we are very much looking forward to returning to this beautiful theatre. Every year we strive to give Nottingham one of the biggest and best pantos."

Jack and the Beanstalk runs from December 5 to January 17. For more information call 0115 989 5555.

Jenna Louise Coleman Interview

2009-09-07T18:38:00.001+01:00

The Waterloo Road actress, 23, reveals her love of ice cream and her addiction to fizzy drinks and smoothies.

Breakfast

“I always start the day with a cup of hot water, followed by two Weetabix with semi-skimmed milk. I don’t drink tea or coffee, so I usually have an Innocent smoothie. Strawberry and banana is my favourite.” 298 calories

Nutrition consultant Ian Marber, The Food Doctor, says, “A cup of hot water is great due to its cleansing properties, but Jenna could improve this by adding a slice of lemon or ginger. Weetabix offers complex carbohydrates, which will give a medium energy release. Some almonds would add essential fats.” 357 calories

Snacks

“I don’t have the chance to snack if I am on set, but I did manage to grab a banana today. I also had a Diet Coke to curb my sugar cravings. I normally have one can every day, but I am trying to cut back on that and replace it with sparkling water.” 108 calories

Ian says, “A banana is a good snack, but it lacks protein so adding Brazil nuts would provide longer term energy. While Diet Coke doesn’t contain sugar, it does contain caffeine, but this shouldn’t be a problem as Jenna doesn’t drink tea or coffee.” 214 calories

Lunch

“I managed to pop out and grab a tuna salad from the local supermarket. I also had a glass of sparkling water with a cod liver oil supplement.” 477 calories

Ian says, “Tuna is a good source of omega-3 fats and the salad provides Jenna with one of her five a day. However, this lunch lacks complex carbohydrates, so I suggest adding some oatcakes. A cod liver oil supplement is good, but should be taken with a different meal as it also provides omega-3 fats.” 601 calories

Dinner

“I am really into stir-fries at the moment. I love peppers, so I usually throw a few together with some chicken and brown rice. I like to eat lightly in the evenings and avoid pasta late at night. My housemate always buys ice cream, so I had some of that.” 880 calories

Ian says, “This is a great dinner. It is a good combination of protein and carbohydrates, and the peppers provide vitamin C. Ice cream is fine occasionally, but she should avoid eating it every day – or perhaps get a new flatmate!” 880 calories

Waterloo Road back-to-back series

2009-08-13T06:20:00.001+01:00

Shed Productions is to continue filming for a sixth run of popular BBC One school drama Waterloo Road immediately after completion of the fifth series, Digital Spy can confirm.

The fourth season of the show ended in May to an audience of 4.51m (20.6%) and signalled the departures of a number of long-term cast including Adam Thomas (Donte Charles) and Neil Morrissey (Eddie Lawson).

Filming for the new 20-hour series is currently under way in Rochdale, Lancashire, and will star ex-Emmerdale actress Jenna-Louise Coleman and former Holby City and Strictly Come Dancing winner Tom Chambers.

A further 20 episodes for a sixth run will begin shooting in the New Year, almost immediately after filming for series five wraps.

A spokesperson for the show told DS: "Series six of Waterloo Road will be going into production directly after production of series five has finished. This will enable the BBC and Shed Productions to take full advantage of the resources and expertise, both of the cast and local crew, assembled for series five."

An air date for this autumn's fifth season has yet to be confirmed but early indications point to September, while series six will air at some point next year.

Both series are being filmed in HD.

Jenna Coleman Joins Waterloo Road

2009-05-13T11:06:00.001+01:00

Former Emmerdale actress Jenna-Louise Coleman has joined the cast of BBC school drama Waterloo Road, DS can reveal.

Speaking on the red carpet at this year's British Soap Awards, the 23-year-old - whose character Jasmine Thomas recently bowed out of ITV's rural serial - confirmed at the weekend: "I'm starting Waterloo Road on Monday actually. She's very different to Jasmine. She's a bit more of a hard girl."
