Jodie wore a long cream cardigan over a plaid shirt, as well as a mud-stained floral dress, with white tights and light pink leg warmers.

Jodie couldn’t contain her laughter between takes.
“I’d be there in a heartbeat,” he admitted. “I’ve done two movies with both guys and I’d love to work with them again. Of course I’ll be there.”

According to an interview with ELLE UK, Jodie has been watching old episodes of Cheryl on The X Factor to master the twang.
She revealed that she was terrified when she started filming because she had to work with 15 different babies on set.
She told the BBC: “I started this process literally terrified. My hands were visibly shaking when I met an eight-week-old baby on set. I thought: ‘Oh my God, what have I done?'”
“It’s one thing to act and think about everything else, but then you have to be aware of that precious little being and make sure it’s safe.”
Jodie said she felt like she followed her character’s arc throughout the process: both she and her mother started out overwhelmed by motherhood, but then settled in.
