It's amazing that producers are so blinded by their own egos they can't see how much they are failing someone. The worst thing is they never bloody learn, either.
Glad Niki has found success in the theatre. People always seem to act like theatre work is a major step down but it requires genuine talent and a strict work ethic, things that you don't need these days to get on TV.”

i have to agree. i know i made a comment about it being regular work. it wasn't my intention to put her down at all. she has been in the west end a long time. some people dip their toes into the west end and find it exhausting. it is hard work and also very rewarding.
