Time is THE series to be watching at the moment (if you haven’t already binged it on BBC iPlayer), and Bella Ramsey can count it as one of their best roles to date.
At just 20 years old, Bella is fast becoming one of the best actors in the UK. They steal the show as a hard-bitten drug addict in Jimmy McGovern’s Time. Bella plays Kelsey Morgan, who arrives in prison for possession, and discovers she is pregnant.
And Bella’s performance has left viewers in awe. Here’s a rundown of their top jaw-droppingly-good roles to date.
Bella Ramsey roles: Actor plays Kelsey Morgan in Time
Bella Ramsey, who identifies as non-binary, is currently playing convict Kelsey Morgan in BBC One‘s Time. And viewers have been blown away by their performance.
Some of their harrowing scenes include a gruelling ‘decrutching’, in which Kelsey has contraband forcibly removed from her vagina. Bella also acts their socks off during scenes in which their character gives birth.
Watching in awe from home after the first episode, one viewer gushed: “Time is the best thing I’ve seen on telly in a long, long time. This is what we pay the licence fee for. The entire cast were utterly superb. Bella Ramsey is 20 years old. If they keep this up, they will have a Damehood before they are 40.”
Another added: “For someone so young, Bella Ramsey is an extraordinary actor #time #bellaramsey.”
A third typed: “Just finished series 2 of #Time. Bella Ramsey is incredible.”
“Distressing but utterly outstanding drama,” said one more. “Excellent acting and Bella Ramsey is beyond talented #Time.”
BAFTA, are you listening?
