The Royal Variety Show, 2017

The 89th Royal Variety Performance, broadcast on the 19th of December 2017, was filmed at the famous London Palladium.

Presented by the hilarious Miranda Hart, the show featured the likes of Louis Tomlinson, Paloma Faith and the Script. The star studded line up made for a truly fantastic show, and raised a suitably brilliant amount of money for charity.

Working on the talent team, I personally looked after James Blunt, Amber Riley, Beverley Knight and the talented cast of 42nd street. With a bomb scare nearly forcing the show to cancel, "the show must go on!" could be heard all around, and the Royals were soon in place.

​With Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in attendance, the show ultimately ran smoothly, though it wasn't without it's drama! I had to walk Miranda's dog, who made quite the mess of Oxford Street, and as Joan Collins was running late, I took on her role in rehearsals for the finale. Check out the pic below of me on stage in the Westend with Miranda, Alfie Boe, Michael Ball and a confused Beverly Knight. I guess I don't look like Joan after all!
