A Derry Girls star has refused to answer a question relating to her age on an Irish talk show, branding the nature of it extremely 'misogynistic'.
Jamie-Lee O'Donnell, who is known for playing Michelle in the popular Channel 4 sitcom, appeared on Ireland's The Late Late Show on Friday night, NME reports.
Host Ryan Tubridy prefaced the question with the notion that it "might be a rude question", before stating: "Can I ask how old you are?”

O'Donnell then jokingly said she was 17, but "very, very wise" for her age.
Tubridy then asked the question again, saying, “Would you consider telling me what age you are?” to which O’Donnell said: “This gets on my nerves a wee bit.
“It’s always quite misogynistic even if it’s not intentionally misogynistic, because men don’t get the same scrutiny.”

Tubridy then said he would "definitely" ask a man the same thing, and stated that the "question" was a compliment given that she plays a teen "so well".
The host then stated that "move on to something else, because I can read a mood when I see it”, to which O’Donnell replied: “I was going to give you a hilarious anecdote, but go ahead.”
The sitcom has been garnering strong reviews since the launch of the third and final season in April.
Derry Girls now airs every Tuesday on Channel 4, with a catch-up option on All 4.
