โ€ The 41-year-old went on to explain that she had to make changes to her diet - including ditching caffeine - because she โ€œdidnt want to take fr hardcore antibioticsโ€. โ€œI took all this little gross stuff, and part of that was giving up caffeine,โ€ dropped the star, who is also known for BBC historical drama Wolf Hall and A British Scandal.

Why This Matters

Key Takeaways

  • โ€œI dont actually eat gluten or sugarโ€ฆ
  • Except when I go out for dinner.
  • It doesnt have an impact on me.
  • Its just because I have an autoimmune condition, so I should avoid anything which causes more inflammation.
