Keen to share her passion with the local children in her area, Sally told Great British Life: “The aim is to build confidence while having plenty of fun.

“The classes will involve some improvisation along with prose and scripted pieces. Ultimately, children will be offered the opportunity to enter LAMDA examinations, but this will be as and when they feel ready.”

She also has three sons, adding: “Strangely my three sons are quite shy, which is ironic considering I spent my childhood being told to ‘stop showing off!’”
