Around the time Bristol schoolgirl Phoebe De Silva was doing her GCSEs, a note appeared on the school noticeboard announcing something was happening in the gym after school.
“My friends were quite excited about it and everyone was talking about it because it said a casting director was going to be there for a new Netflix series and they wanted to meet people,” said Phoebe.
“It said ‘come to the gym after school’, so I thought ‘why not?’ and all my friends did too. I went down there and the casting director talked us through the different parts they had for this programme, and I thought I’d go for the part of Sophie,” she added.
