A Bridgerton actor who successfully fought off a phone snatcher has revealed her impressive boxing skills.

Genevieve Chenneour, 27, who plays Clara Livingston in the Netflix period drama, revealed her skills as a boxer helped her during the altercation, when she appeared on This Morning on Thursday (12 June).

The 27-year-old has posted a video of herself on TikTok sparring in the ring with the caption: “He messed with the wrong girl.”
