The Port Talbot-born actress<\/a> told Lucy Owen on BBC Radio Wales<\/a> she had auditioned with a Welsh accent “and they kind of loved it”, with the show writing in extra details to add to her character. <\/p>\n “I’m kind of thrilled that they went with it because as a kid growing up and watching things, there was never that, there was never the Welsh accent,” she said.<\/p>\n Creevy said that after she auditioned, Black Doves writer Joe Barton wrote the dialogue to suit her, and “we added all of the stuff about Bridgend”.<\/p>\n It was “very refreshing to be that Welsh”, she said. <\/p>\n “I just love Wales and I just love taking that with me – it’s so nice.”<\/p>\n She said it was also good that her fellow cast member Ella Lily Hyland was able to use her Irish accent in the drama.<\/p>\n Creevy said she was starstruck working alongside such seasoned performers and watching them do their thing was “like a masterclass”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Award-winning actress Gabrielle Creevy has told how she loved being able to play “a very Welsh assassin” in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":819932,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-819931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=819931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819931\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/819932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=819931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=819931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=819931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
