The 27-year-old displays such a flawless US accent on the series - as she has in previous shows such as the plane-crash drama Yellowjackets - that Americans were convinced she was one of their own.

Americans have been convinced the 27-year-old is one of their ownAs the star of hit Amazon drama Fallout, Ella Purnell is wowing viewers as an adventurous young woman full of 'all-American can-do spirit' braving the post-apocalyptic Californian wasteland.

'I was 16 when I did my first American accent for a film and I kept doing it off set. I thought that's what real actors do, and then my co-star must have believed I was actually American. 'Then one day I dropped it. I was tired, I went into my British accent and he didn't believe I was English. He was like 'stop doing this character, you're freaking me out'. By the end I was making him cups of tea, listing the Kings and Queens of England... like, how do I prove it to you?'

Acting helped pay for her education at the exclusive £25,000-a-year City of London School for Girls, where she first developed her knack for accents. She said: 'I still have the scars and it's something that I will always regret, but by opening up about my own experiences I can start conversations and make other people feel less guilty.'
