Dumbo star's love for square sausage stops her ditching Scotland for Hollywood

Dumbo star Sharon Rooney says she’ll never ditch ­Scotland for the glamour of Hollywood – because she loves square sausage too much.

The 30-year-old from Glasgow is on a high after the live action version of Disney’s cartoon classic hit cinemas at the weekend.

Sharon, who burst on to the small screen in 2013 in E4’s My Mad Fat Diary, appears with Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito and Michael Keaton as circus performer Miss Atlantis.

Despite her taste of Hollywood glamour, she told BBC Scotland’s The Nine: “I’m too much a home bird to move to West Hollywood. I’d miss Scotland too much. Plus the sausages are square here.
