Dr Sarah is quite and intense character. Do you ever find it hard to leave that behind after a long day filming

She and I have been together for a long time now. It’s been a couple of years and I think I’m used to putting it on and taking it off fairly fluidly but at the same time there is a sense that you want to leave it all on the field at the end of the day. I’m usually tired at the end of the day and sometimes a bit disorientated but I think that’s just a sign that I turned up at work. Also I don’t work everyday so whereas Sarah will probably consume a day where I’m working the next day I may be off and then that’s all me.

There have been rumours that the producers plan to incorporate your pregnancy into the show. Is that true

No it would not be possible. The show moves too slowly. The first two series have only been eight weeks in terms of the real time of the story line so if Sarah is pregnant it’s not Michael’s baby and that’s a wrench that I don’t think they need to throw into things.

Is there anything you would like to do outside of Prison Break

So much. There was a couple of films I was offered recently but obviously I’ve not been able to do at the moment with being pregnant but those would have been lots of fun.

I started in theatre so I would like to get back to theatre for a little while. I also think that as an actor what really gets me going is doing roles which are really far apart from each other so I’d like to move in a direction that’s very different from Prison Break.

Are you enjoying visiting England

I have a lot of family here and I lived here for a while when I was younger so for me being here is about catching up with people and what restaurants I want to make sure I hit and that kind of thing. It’s quite bizarre I found myself on a plane here from Spain and after four days of getting rained on and the dietary restrictions of being pregnant and I’m thinking I can’t wait to get to England for the weather and the cuisine. Then I laughed and thought hang on that’s not what people usually go to London for.

How are you finding pregnancy

I’m enjoying it now but at the beginning it was very hard, especially while I was working and before I told anyone and I was really sick. There were a few days where I’d sort of think one foot in front of the other and just get through it. Passing that initial trimester has been an adventure and change but it’s been an awful lot of fun too.

Are you looking forward to motherhood

Yes I am but I think I’m appropriately terrified of it as well. I’m fully prepared to fall flat on my face but I think it’s going to be a continuing adventure and change and one that I’m certainly excited about.

Prison Break Series 2 is out on DVD from 21st May
