Speaking to Phillip Schofield and Rochelle Humes on ‘This Morning’, Paloma said: “I’m currently filming a series called ‘Pennyworth’, which is a prequel to ‘Gotham’, where I play a character for a whole series so like 10 episodes.
“I’m completely immersed in playing another person called Bet Sykes who’s not that nice but I’m kind of in my weird, sadistic way, learning to love her too. I kind of love this horrible person as well, I’m finding new answers in her horrific personality.”
The series focuses on Thomas Wayne – the father of Bruce Wayne, who as an adult becomes The Caped Crusader – and Alfred Pennyworth, who will be played by Jack Bannon, when they first meet
‘Our Girl’ star Ben Aldridge will portray the young American billionaire Thomas who meets Alfred in London in the 60s and employs the former British SAS soldier’s security firm.
