The town was decorated in festive lights during filming in February, with the young star feeling during that shoot that it was “Christmas all over again”.
Matilda said filming in Knaresborough gave her the chance to go home, catch up with friends and see her two pet kittens, Newt and Ripley.
Her growing CV already includes appearances in new horror film Wolfman and ITV’s Mr Bates vs The Post Office.
Matilda said she was excited for the film’s release so that her friends could watch it.
Her two brothers also act and her other credits include Netflix’s The English Game – which was filmed in Bradford – and a McDonald’s Christmas advert.
She has worked alongside other famous names such as Patrick Dempsey, Ryan Gosling, Julia Garner and Matt Smith.
Tinsel Town was released on 5 December.
