Reilly grew up in Chessington, Greater London, in a working-class family, where her father was a policeman and her mother worked at Kingston Hospital.[1] She did not attend drama school due to financial constraints and an inability to articulate her interest in acting.
Reilly has prior been in a lengthy relationship with JJ Feild. She is now engaged to Israeli-American actor Jonah Lotan.
Career
Reilly was inspired to act after seeing a performance of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui. At age 17, she made her professional debut in an episode of Prime Suspect, acting alongside Helen Mirren, while still studying for her A-levels. She would later play the younger version of Mirren's character in the flashback sequences of the film Last Orders.
Reilly appears in the forthcoming film Eden Lake and in early 2008, she appeared in ITV1's adaptation of Jake Arnott's crime novel He Kills Coppers. She appeared in Othello at the Donmar Warehouse from 30 November 2007 to 23 February 2008, alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor and Ewan McGregor.
