Jodie Comer deactivated her Twitter account earlier this year. Now, in an interview with OK! magazine, she revealed that she has temporarily left Instagram, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Until I get some self-control and manage not to go and seek out negative things on social media, I think it's best for me to take a little step back," said Comer.

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

The actress had previously revealed her difficulties with fame.

She said: "The job I do doesn't end when the camera stops rolling, there's this whole other world."

Confessing that she had once read the YouTube comments on a talkshow interview of her, she said: "I know all the people who comment on YouTube are aliens anyway, but I was speaking as myself and they were saying I'm losing my accent.

"I'd adapted it a little bit because it's an American audience and a lot of the time people are like: 'What is she saying?'

"That's a whole other world to me. That side of things is something I can find difficult. I don't want to pretend to be something I'm not, but I worry that sometimes it comes across all over the place."
