Talking about her character, Sofia said: “Even if Eve is a fictional character in comparison to David Stirling or Paddy Mayne, she is very much a character that existed at the time.

“There were spies like Noor Inayat Khan or Virgina Hall.

“So many incredible women who were a part of the liberation during the Second World War.

“Eve, like a lot of them, used methods that were born within her instinct and her intelligence.”
