For Tom [Sturridge, who plays the bad-boy Jake], a lot of oyster shucking.
Ella we just let be terrible, because its part of her character.
I broke everything all the time!
Another challenge for Purnell was the iconic scene where Jake gives her an oyster for the first time.
Im allergic to fish, so it was quite traumatic, if I can say that, she reveals.

They tried to make me hold the plates, and I was like, Guys this is dangerous.
I will drop them.
