The Harry Potter star was left 'appalled' after hearing the news when she was filming her BBC Two series A New Australian Adventure
Over the past three weeks, Miriam Margolyes has captivated audiences with her series A New Australian Adventure on BBC Two. In the concluding episode aired on Friday, the actress was left "appalled" upon hearing a distressing account.
Abbie, who identifies as queer, shared with Margolyes that she faced severe bullying at school and even received death threats for her efforts. A deeply affected Miriam embraced Abbie in a comforting hug, expressing: "That's awful, I can't bear that," reports the Mirror. Miriam concluded with words of encouragement: "What you have to face is that you have courage and in that courage, you've forged an idea which is going to give courage to other people."
