Most people suffer from some kind of mental health issue at some point in their lives. For Ramsey, it was right after they left Game of Thrones to join another show, The Worst Witch. They told The Guardian that they developed an eating disorder during the first season, were “in the thick of it” by the second and decided to walk away despite recovering by the third.

“That whole experience was full of many highs and lows. I was just ready to say goodbye, take a break and go on to other things”, they said.

“Forever grateful for my time as Mildred in The Worst Witch, but there is a time for everything under the sun. And series four was my time to say goodbye to Mildred.”
