In the 2015 film adaptation of Lady Chatterley’s Lover, the actress co-starred with Holliday Grainger, James Norton, and Richard Madden, playing as Ivy Bolton.

In 2016, the actress collaborated with Tim Roth in the serial project Rillington Place, where he played as one of the most disgusting British criminals, John Christie, who tortured and killed several women in the basement of his house. Jodie’s character is one of the most tragic in this story; she played the victim of the maniac, and the part of her husband, who was convicted and executed according to Christie’s slanderous testimonies in the early 50s, was played by Niko Mirallegro, who was well familiar to her.
