In March, Sian penned an essay on the importance of knowing your worth.
She opened up about her career as an actor and taking a risks.
She penned: “it’s virtually impossible to control anything that comes your way.
“So the little things that you can control become precious. Never be afraid to say no to something that doesn’t feel right.
“The world will not end; your agent won’t drop you. In fact, whenever you have said no to something, the two of you have been on exactly the same page, and this has further strengthened your working relationship.
“It’s empowering and liberating, and it makes you feel like a boss. Hold onto those moments, because they’ll be rare.”
