Info

I feel quite lucky that the reviews I have had have always been quite positive. For the most part they were reviewing the premise of the show and the success of the show in general, so I tended to get quite good feedback. Lord knows how the stars cope when they get slated for their performances. Luckily (or should I say unluckily I am not in their league! Whilst I have held up a few BAFTA awards (won by others) I was privileged to receive a WAW award (Women Appreciating Women) for my work in fundraising and supporting women in business and women charities. Getting my WAW award Today, I am heavily involved with You Can Free US fighting human trafficking. I would love you to watch and share this short film in honor of all the amazing women in your life who live in freedom AND also for all those millions of women kept in slavery around the world. On International Women's Day, be their voice. #IWD2020 #youcanfreeus #modernslavery #humantrafficking #Freedom #bethevoice Press shots for Secret Location 12
A Few Final Thoughts I think one of the benefits of my career is that it has given me the confidence to walk into a room and not be too afraid. So you might think I am more confident them I am. It’s hard to look back at old filmed footage and not be critical of myself. I hate watching my old work but at times you have to, to see how you can improve things next time. Another benefit of my career for me is to be able to use my contacts to get interviews with celebrity speakers for charitable purposes. I love this and have managed to get people like Martine McCutcheon (Love Actually), Anton Du Beke (Strictly Come Dancing), Eddie The Eagle (Olympic skier) to name but a few, to become involved in causes that I care about. At a speaking engagement with actor, Martine McCutcheon A couple of other things I wanted to tell you about : 1. My daughter Mimi is without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest thing that has ever happened in my life. I put my career on hold for her, and I may not be able to resurrect it again, but it was worth it. I have no regrets about putting her first. I just wish the industry would be a little more understanding of parenthood and not so ruthless. 2. Today I am involved with the story about how a group of us got together to get scrubs made for the NHS during lockdown when the NHS had none. It was a nationwide effort, and we rose to the challenge. With my daughter Mimi We are hoping to make it into a TV series or a film, and while I was a huge part of the effort I have made my part in the script very small. Who would play me? Hmmm, they’d have to have quite big fuzzy hair and be on the cuddly side. I am always trying to highlight charities or people that need it. So Scrubs Glorious Scrubs and You Can Free Us are my next projects to get the film made and to get the YCFU film shown internationally. 13
