I have never been so scared but excited. It was just amazing. So many things could have gone wrong and there was that fear in the back of my mind.

It was thrilling and will always stay in my mind for as long as I live. Would you be up for another live episode then? Every time I bring it up at work, everyone says, ‘Are you kidding me?! You’d want to do it again?’ And I say, ‘Yes!’ I think I might be the only person at work who would want to do it again. Who are you closest to from the cast? It’s hard not to include people.

Everybody in our cast has a role within our life off screen as well as on. You become really, really close with everybody.
