Blake joins the Sky comedy series for the aptly-named I Hate Suzie Too, where creators Lucy Prebble and Billie Piper push the embattled character to the edge like never before.

The actor added: "Lucy [Prebble]'s writing is so brilliant, that she can find humour in these really dark yet relatable places.
"Dark comedy is something that has has been around for a very very long time, but the fact that she can do it so well in terms of these dark moments being very relatable, they're not heightened dark moments, they're really true character-driven, you know, desperate moments for these characters at times. And she still finds humour in that.
"And I think that's a really great gift that she has as a writer. Then on top of that you're working with Billie [Piper] who is just phenomenal. She's just such a brilliant actress that gives everything to the character, she's so kind of raw and open with the way that she gives herself wholeheartedly to the performance."
