‘The security came over on those little scooters and said, “We can all see you in the studios on CCTV”. I never even got a badge.’

The Alma’s Not Normal star also confessed to ‘robbing a Greggs’ during another boozy night out.

She said: ‘The naughtiest thing I’ve ever done is robbing a Greggs van. We were quite drunk and really hungry.

‘A man was unloading the van so we took one box each.’

It comes after Sophie revealed that her BBC Two comedy Alma’s Not Normal will not be returning for a third series.

The sitcom drama series first aired in April 2020 and follows the life of Alma who tries to get her life back on track after a recent breakup.

However, according to TV Zone, the show is developing a one-off Christmas special to act as the final episode.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for comment.

Releasing an emotional statement, creator, writer, and star Sophie said: ‘I’ve been overwhelmed by the response to the show.

‘People seem to really love and relate to the Nuthalls, which means a lot, and to get the chance to continue that story is beyond what I could have hoped for.

‘That on the back of the awards we’ve received is a bit mind-blowing if I’m honest.

‘To be recognised by BAFTA, Broadcast Awards, The Royal Television Society, peers and our audience in such a way is a real honour.

‘I’m thrilled to get back in the writing room to see where Alma’s journey takes us next.’

Jon Petrie, BBC director of Comedy Commissioning said: ‘We couldn’t be prouder to commission the Award-winning Alma’s Not Normal for a second series.

‘It’s a privilege to work with Sophie and her brilliantly bold and original comedy brain.

‘Sophie embodies everything that you can achieve with the unique opportunities BBC Comedy can offer exciting new voices.’
