She thinks about herself, but underneath it all, she\u2019s very loving.\u201d<\/p> <p>\u201cWhen I said I was interested, I got asked if I would play it as a woman from Liverpool, and I am from there originally and I love my home city, but I\u2019ve never played many Liverpool parts,\u201d the Gavin &amp; Stacey star continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Shirley Valentine is possibly the only one I\u2019ve ever done so I thought, \u2018Oh, that\u2019d be nice, that\u2019d be great to do that\u2019. So that was another reason that attracted me to play Sue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether she had much in common with her character, Steadman said she didn\u2019t think so, apart from the fact they\u2019re both from Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>However, the actor did say she\u2019s happiest when her family are all together, and that she thinks Sue is similar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Sue\u2019s like that \u2013 she just loves being with her family and just popping round there and sitting on the couch,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"&quot;links-internal&quot;\"><strong>Here We Go starts Friday 29th April at 8:30pm on BBC One and <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer&quot;\">BBC iPlayer<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"&quot;links-internal&quot;\"><strong>Looking for something else to watch?
