Since then, she has supported the charity in a range of different ways. She has donated clothes worn on-screen, signed scripts from Line of Duty and signed copies of her book The Jase Files to help raise much needed cash for Teenage Cancer Trust.

Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to supporting 13-24 year olds with cancer by providing them with specialist care and support. At such a critical time in their lives, each day that goes by without the right support can cause a young person lasting damage, impacting their physical and emotional wellbeing and their ability to rebuild their lives after treatment.

All proceeds from the auction will ensure that no young person has to go through cancer alone.
