Who Is Nadia Parkes? Tom Holland's New Girlfriend Has an Impressive Résumé

Even after landing her breakout role on The Spanish Princess, Nadia struggled to find work, and she ended up taking on a very different role instead. “I was in drama school when I got the job [on The Spanish Princess],” she told Grace during her What They Don’t Tell You About appearance. “I left early to do it. Everyone was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is incredible.’ . . . Ten months later, I hadn’t worked, and I’d started working at a special-needs school to help out with some kids there.”

In addition to her role as Rosa de Vargas on The Spanish Princess, Nadia appeared on an episode of Doctor Who as Claire Clairmont. She revealed to Grace during her What They Don’t Tell You About appearance that, growing up, she frequently watched Doctor Who. “Honestly, it was like – I was obsessed with it when I was 12 years old,” Nadia said in reference to the show. “It was literally a young me’s dream.”

Nadia is close friends with Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner, and she even attended Sophie’s bachelorette party in June 2019 ahead of Sophie’s wedding to Joe Jonas. According to The Daily Mail, it is believed that Sophie was the one to introduce Nadia and Tom Holland.
