"My friends and I - the original Derry Girls - used to sneak out to bars all the time, but my parents would always find me, hand me a tracksuit and a jumper and just drag me out. "My ma once breathalysed me outside a disco, which scarred me for life. It was a constant battle, which I'm now forever grateful for."https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu7RDEvA-g1/ Jackson, who now lives in London, said that she wishes she could still get away with things like she used to as a teenager. Despite this, playing a teenager in the show has given her some of that innocence back. "It felt very special to play a 15-year-old in Derry Girls and throw myself back to that carefree, confident sense of hope," she said. "When you're a teenager, you're experimenting with who you want to be, and as you get older you feel more pressurised, feel expectations, life comes into play." https://www.instagram.com/p/BwRrEoFJMff/ The second series of Derry Girls finished up a few weeks back, with Bill Clinton's visit to the city ending the season on a hopeful note. It was later announced that a third series of the wildly popular Channel 4 sitcom was in the works - not like anybody had any doubts about that anyway. You can watch series one and two of Derry Girls on All4 now.
