She began: '[I got involved in the film] because I am the biggest fan of the original, ever.
'I'm gonna go ahead and say the number one fan. So when I heard that they were making a sequel to it, I was first of all like 'what are they going to do with my Jumanji?
Adding: 'And then I read the script and learned it was going to be very special and then I just really wanted to be a part of it.'

She explained: 'It's hard to compare them. The original is so brilliant but this is a movie in its own right.
'I mean, we pay homage to the original but this is a different concept so we've, you know, evolved it a little. So I can't really put them head to head because I love them both so much.'
The flame-haired beauty stars alongside Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Nick Jonas in the new film, which takes a different twist to the original.

Speaking to show hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, she said: 'Yeah, it was a launch pad and I feel like I was getting roles for things because the directors who were Doctor Who fans.'
And while the host asked whether she would have liked to be the first female Doctor Who, Karen couldn't help but gush over Jodie Whitaker and how she is perfect for the role.
She added: 'No it should be Jodie. She's going to be incredible. I think it's going to be amazing, of course a woman can do it, the role isn't bound by genders. I think she'll be fantastic.'
