'I looked in the mirror and thought it was going to be emotional but it wasn’t. It felt so positive.'  

Iris began experimenting with new hairstyles as Soo Catwoman in Danny Boyle's upcoming Sex Pistols drama.

Discussing her acting debut in the series, Pistol, she said of her character: 'I want to do her justice. A lot of people don’t actually know who she is or much about her. I want that to be rectified.'

On whether she will get the opportunity to meet the punk icon, the star responded: 'I’m going to push for that to happen. I want her to watch the show and be like, "That’s what it was about!"'
