What did you learn from the day? I learnt how the Wicked programme is put together behind the scenes so efficiently and I got to drive the Wicked camper and got to grips with the quirks of driving an old VW Campervan, and despite being rather primitive to drive, they have a certain charm and I can see why they are SO popular!

What was the funniest thing that happened while filming? Driving out & about passing other VW campers (of which none were as nice & shiney as the Wicked one I have to say!) and watching them go crazy flashing their lights and waving frantically at our van - good to see there is healthy camaraderie between VW campervan owners!

How did you feel when filming had ended? Tired, elated?

Apprehensive as I had a 5 hour drive back to London afterwards!

Did you enjoy your day as runner for Wicked? Yes I loved every minute of it...I don't think I stopped laughing for long! Everyone was joking and laughing and Lilli and Nathan's dancing was funny!

What did you learn from the day? I think the day was brilliant for my confidence...because I've not been deaf long and I'm still learning sign...so its always nice to be around other deaf people and grow confidence with signing.

What was the funniest thing that happened while filming? When Nathan was chasing Lilli and fell over...or the dancing! Funny things happend all day!

Did you enjoy working with the deaf crew? I loved working with the deaf crew everyone was so caring and welcoming I had such a amazing day I didn't want to go home!

What do you like most about Wicked? I love wicked because its always different and I love the way the presenters are always joking and laughing!
