Starring Bradley alongside Richard Coyle (Coupling) and Russell Tovey (Being  Human), Grabbers will be released in UK cinemas later this year.

Speaking exclusively to CultBox, the Irish actress explained: “It’s set on this island off of Ireland and this washed-up policeman lives there. Basically, this alien from the sea comes and sucks everyone’s blood on the island. And they figure out that the only way he won’t such your blood and kill you is if you’re drunk, as he’s allergic to alcohol.”

Recalling the film’s shoot, Bradley revealed: “I’d never played drunk like that before, pretty much non-stop. We had a little experiment where the director filmed us and we watched it back the next day and it was horrific. It’s something nobody should ever have to watch, it was not very flattering!”

Last seen as Mary Maloney in ITV’s four-part Titanic mini-series, Bradley recently shot a US TV pilot for ABC’s Beauty and the Beast.

Series 5 of Primeval is expected to begin on ITV1 next month.
