Speaking about reading the script, Dani said: “As soon as I read it I was like, ‘This is exactly how Tracy would be as a mum’.
“Her daughter is amazing. They’re kind of complete opposites to be honest with you. Obviously, Tracy kind of just speaks before she thinks – she’s very emotional, she’s very feisty.
"Whereas Jess is a bit more reserved. She’s a bit more chilled, she is really intelligent.
"But those two together, it’s just a match made in heaven. They’re not only mother and daughter, they’re friends as well and I think that comes across in the show."

She also opened up about her struggles with home-schooling, saying: "It’s a big responsibility teaching little people how to read and write with absolutely no qualifications whatsoever.
