Friends star Angela Featherstone reveals she's never watched sitcom
The Friends guest star admits that she hasn't even watched her episodes.
Out of all the storylines on Friends, the one everyone remembers is the debate over whether Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and Ross (David Schwimmer) were actually on a break when he slept with 'Xerox girl' Chloe, who was played by Angela Featherstone.
Yet despite being a huge part of one of the most iconic TV plots of all time, Featherstone has admitted that she's never actually watched her episodes of Friends – or any of the sitcom in general.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com in an exclusive interview, Featherstone said that she'd heard from other people that her short storyline on the show had become a running plot point.
"I wasn't aware of that because I didn't watch the series but I've heard. So I think that [Chloe] became bigger in people's minds than I was even aware of."

When asked whether she'd watched Friends at all, she said: "No. I should because everyone involved in that show is excellent. The writers, the cast, the directors – especially Jim Burrows who directed the episode that I was in, he's one of the greatest TV directors of all time. That was huge for me.
"And I should watch it almost as an intellectual pursuit, it's just that there's 10 seasons – not like most of the three seasons you get now for shows – and it's just not my genre. I tend more towards documentaries and stuff, but I love two shows – Ted Lasso and I love After Life. I basically love everything Ricky Gervais does."
Since appearing in the classic sitcom, Featherstone has founded the charity Fostering Care, which you can find out more about at its website.
