In her latest role she plays the part of a nun based on the Costa de la Luz.

Returning to Spain after 20 years in Rome, she discovers her old boyfriend Bruno has become a local drug lord.

In the TV programme, out this week, Perdoname, Senor, she tackles a subject close to home for many Gibraltarians and Andalucians.
