Joanne Froggatt broke her own self-imposed social media ban to read comments about \'Liar\'.

"And it\'s great reading comments from people saying they\'ve really enjoyed the show. It\'s kept them on the edge of their seats. That it was the highlight of their week."

Speaking on the \'At Home With The Lallas\' podcast, she added: "I reply very occasionally [to comments]. I often like things so people know I\'ve read it and responded.

"I have a rule - I don\'t reply to anything negative. I occasionally get the odd negative comment that has really made me laugh out loud.

"I was getting all these comments saying, \'We love Anna. We love you\' and then all of a sudden one person just put, \'F**k You\' and I thought, \'Fair play!\' "
