Jodie admitted in her social media blackout she was trying to be "conscious" of what she uses the platforms for.

"Also now, in this time, I am trying to be a little bit conscious of what I use it for."

Also, the award-winning star admitted it felt "wrong" doing "self-promotion" at the moment amid the coronavirus pandemic sweeping the globe.

She elaborated: "It feels a bit wrong to me to be doing any sort of self-promotion at the moment, so I'm trying to be a little bit wary of that, while also being communicative and speaking to people. It's something I'm figuring out - it's a tricky thing."

Her Instagram platform has built up a fan base of 1.5million.

Jodie has more than 3,700 people tune in to read her tweets.

She rocketed into the limelight with her leading role in Killing Eve in 2018.
