Soooo much work goes in from us as casting directors, actors, producers, directors and then it takes one person to tweet something really ignorant and all that work goes to shit.
Just remember we’re not all the same. 🎄
Break the silence.
Bullying in the workplace must not be tolerated.
And for anyone that is going through this now, (or has been for years) know that there are nice people in our industry that WILL stand by you & support you.
I pretty much had every single agent & casting director in my dream last night... (even those I haven’t physically met, I made you up).
THIS IS HOW MUCH I MISS WORKING, MY COLLEAGUES, THE THEATRE, SPOTLIGHT... 😰

2020 CAN DO ONE.
Thank you actors for ALL the self tapes & thank you industry colleagues for the msgs of support during a shit year.
I’m sure we all learnt a lot about work/life balance.
Let’s be more kind & supportive in 2021 pls.
Merry Christmas!!! x🎄🍾

England fans always fail our country. No etiquette. Chavvy and irresponsible. These videos of violence and racism are utterly heartbreaking & disgusting. Report them if you see it.
Thank you so much to all you wonderful actors who nominated me! Such an honour
@TheMandyNetwork
& just as I’m about to reach the end of my 1st year going solo! Congratulations to everyone else nominated too 👏🏽👏🏽
Not gonna lie. I’ve struggled getting back into a work routine HOWEVER I’m also really bloody enjoying it!
PLEASE don’t get taken away from me again! 🙌🏽
Genuinely missed working, even if I’ve been thrown in at the deep end with long days.
Actors with iPhones! There was a recent update to iOS devices that changed the Camera Format to "High Efficiency" mode. This mode is designed to save storage space but it uses a new video codec that is not yet compatible with all streaming sites...
This week has been a shitter, today has been even shittier for a lot of us, so do us all favour and please DON’T GO OUT TONIGHT for “one last time” coz that’s just selfish. Thank you.

☹️ Let’s not start jumping for joy because TV & film seem to be a little safe for now. The rest of our industry is still overlooked (again).
Theatres - I miss you.
Stay safe & positive everyone 🤍
Following Government advice about new national Coronavirus measures, we must regrettably cancel performances of Death of England: Delroy from 5–28 Nov. Performances on Tues 3 & Wed 4 Nov will go ahead as scheduled. (1/2)
Thank you so much to EVERYONE who travelled to get to us today at spotlight. The current situation isn’t easy to gauge and especially on our next steps as casting directors looking out for everyone’s well being. Someone tell me what to do ...🤷🏽♀️😰
As we’re all having trouble with
@SpotlightUK
it’s important to know things are working faster on CHROME not Safari/Firefox. That hasn’t been made very clear.
I’ve had actors & agents tell me they keep getting errors accessing breakdowns.
PLEASE SHARE - SO IT HELPS OTHERS
Every actor wanting to work on those accents needs to get this game! Guaranteed to have you in hysterics every. Single. Time.
(Coz were terrible at accents in our house 🤦🏽♀️)

Toby Jones, David Morrissey, Katherine Kelly, Lee Ingleby, Jill Halfpenny, Jasmine Lee-Jones, Liz White and Daniel Mays star in true crime drama, The Long Shadow produced by New Pictures and written by George Kay, coming to ITV1 and ITVX next month. Details >
Roxanne Pallet is trending at no.2 on twitter... let’s not give her the attention! SHE WANTS THIS. That’s what people like her do. Let’s stop giving her the attention. We all saw the truth. Instead
#ryanthomas
🙌🏽(I don’t even watch it🤣)
I’m genuinely scared. All we can do is support each other. Every industry will be hit in some way. Please stay sane, talk to people regularly & remember we’re all in this together. If you can, cook up a few meals & drop them off to the elderly 🤷🏽♀️💕
Happy Monday!
Today will be tough on many people in different ways. You do you. Don’t let others preach on what you can or can’t do. It’s been rough for everyone in various ways, since last March. Do what is good for your mental health (within the rules!)
Trying to get back into the swing of working in my pjs when I’ve been as dolled up as this 👇🏽 for the last 4 days, is REALLY hard. (I do get to go back to this tomorrow night though 💃🏻)

Dear difficult people (on a power trip),
Please don’t get in my way this week, as you did last week.
It’s not necessary. Be kind.
We’re a team. Let’s all get on with our jobs.
Happy Monday! It’s nearly Christmas! 🤍
The next 9 days: say goodbye to my life as an associate for GDC, start a whole new work chapter in 2019 & make sure I get my best friend to her wedding on Saturday in one peace! oh and pack my bag to fly to Vietnam on Xmas day! Freaking out much?🤷🏽♀️😐👰🏻🇻🇳🙌🏽
Sorry not sorry! Happy First day back at work guys! I’ll be back at it from Thursday AM (probs Wednesday night as I’ll have the worst jet lag) Let’s smash 2019 together and not have to wait an entire year for a holiday again💁🏽♀️
Wow. Helen McCrory on TV discussing her important charity work for the Prince’s Trust just six weeks before her death from cancer - and very few people had any idea what she was clearly going through. An incredible person.
New Delivery driver: looks up from putting the box down “oh your tanned! Been on holiday?”
Me: “Nope” awkward laugh by me,
I wish.
Thanks mate. Close the door. Sit on my stairs.
What just happened?? WHY DIDN’T I SAY NO THATS MY SKIN COLOUR?
🤦🏽♀️
#EidMubarak
to those celebrating! It’s definitely an odd one not getting to see our families, however let’s embrace the quality time, FaceTimes & most of all the incredible feast.
I spent 4 hours cooking one dish today in preparation! (Kheer)😋
Happy eating Biriyani day! ❤️

You know you’ve been stuck indoors for 11 days straight when you wake up & watch Jon Snows final showdown on C4 & ball your eyes out.
In better news…
I AM FREE TODAY! 💃🏻
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE 🎄❄️🎅🏾
Here’s to Lockdown 2.0.
Last one - I moved up the country. Wonder what I’ll do this time?! 🤷🏽♀️
Stay positive everyone - if anyone needs anything (a virtual hug, pen pal, chocolate orange 🍊 insight) just holla at me.
Big love 🤍
Hey Twitter, need you to show
@AntoniaRob1
(my helping hand over the next couple of weeks) some love! She’s new to Twitter & has been the biggest help!
CD’s don’t steal her yet, but do keep her in mind!
