Why she might be annoying:

    She admitted she only married her first husband because she was pregnant and feared the stigma of having a child out of wedlock.
    Her father said, 'Sarah can be difficult. I'd hate to be married to her.'
    While filming 'Coronation Street,' she suffered a nervous breakdown, during which she became 'hysterical at the thought of getting out of bed.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    She taught drama until her acting career took off.
    She keeps her private life out of social media; her posts are always work-related.
    She became the highest-paid actress in British TV when ITV signed her to a two-year £1.3 million deal (2000).
    She won BAFTA TV Awards for Best Supporting Actress for 'Last Tango in Halifax' (2014) and Best Actress for 'Happy Valley' (2017).
