Nicola made the revelation during a recent interview with BuzzFeed.

She said, 'I auditioned to play Robin, Maya Hawke got it.'

'She was far better than I ever would have been.'

'It's a good lesson to actors: Watch the stuff you didn't get, because you'll totally understand how it's not personal.'

'You're just right for some things, and you're not right for other things,' the Irish actress said. 

Nicola went on to land the role of Penelope Bridgerton in the hit Shondaland series Bridgerton.
