My little behind the scenes diary of a very special job I got to do a few months back… I’ve never been to Rome, so this was extra special. It was hectic, hilarious, and unforgettable. Thankyou @ladym_mcmanus and @solusprod for asking me to be a part of the team!
You can watch Michelle’s Road to Rome on BBC iPlayer ❤️
