Hayley, 35, who plays Marvel character Peggy Carter, later thanked her stylist on Instagram for putting her in “medieval-torture-foot-containers”.

But she added: “That’s all right because I love her and it’s forcing me to walk slow and all sassy-like.”

She also described herself as “just a flailing warthog”.

We think she’s marvellous.
