Over the last two years I’ve been a digs host in London, and have been donating an amount from the income to @centrepointuk each month with top ups. So far I’ve donated over £1,000 to end Youth Homelessness and will continue to do so. For thousands of young people they won’t get a happy, warm, full-tummy Christmas so whilst I’m very lucky to be in a different position I will continue to donate, support and raise awareness. Everyone who knows me is aware for the last two years I haven’t bought or received any Christmas presents and now you know instead where my focus goes instead. This brings me joy to make a small difference to those without the joy this time of year.

Christmas 2025. I don’t usually do personal posts on my main insta anymore, but this one is an important big one for me. I’ve had the most incredible year at work, and last year I made a promise to myself to put myself, my fitness and health, my love for travelling the world first. And things that bring me joy. The universe has worked some magic this year and delivered @_b_hughes_ aka one half of @billyandlouie to me. I can’t begin to express how perfect, special, thoughtful, kind, considerate, respectful, loyal, beautiful, talented, driven, successful, inspiring, business savvy, passion focused, forward-planning, generous, charming, honest and romantic Billy is. Everyone loves him and I am the very first one on that long list. I lost my love for Christmas last year and somehow this year he brought it back in abundance for me. I genuinely wouldn’t have been able to achieve half the things I have this year without Billy by my side and giving me the support, time and listening ear I needed. This photo was taken recently at @thekingdomchoir Christmas concert, who we both love and admire. My favourite question to ask people is “what brings you joy?” My answer for life will be @_b_hughes_ ♥️🥰❤️ Merry Christmas!

This is my dog, Paddington. Dressed as @paddingtonbear because his human dad (me) is the biggest #Paddington fan. This special winter dog coat was made for him by Bone Idol in Brighton years ago for free, as a gift, and he genuinely loves it! Paddington grew up with me in Paddington (Sussex Gardens) and I am contemplating buying myself tickets for @paddingtonthemusical for my big birthday coming up next week… should I? Marmalade sandwiches on standby. (Can you tell I’m a fan of Paddington?)

Released a new album this week. Concept album for @haroldfrymusical a new British musical composed by the incredibly talented @passengermusic which opens @theatreroyalhaymarket in Jan starring Mark Addy & Jenna Russell based on @rachelcjoyce_writer best selling book/film/radio play directed by the genius @katyrudd1 and produced by @chrisharperproductions @curveballproductions @chichesterft which I’m honoured to be producing for them with @harper71 and team CHP. We shot this beautiful music video a few months ago with @thekingdomchoir (who are our charity partners) and a first class team led by @elliotfilms_ and @dominic_mua - I said multiple times on the day “we are blessed and so lucky that we get to do this job as a living.” I stand by that statement. Big week this week for us - @othelloonstage first rehearsal week and a Stella season @sadlers_wells for @lionwitchstage topped off now with this album/music video and Passenger’s live stream on Sunday via his YouTube channel. Happy/blessed/inspired.

Happy Birthday to my baby boy, the dog I never see anymore due to work… 9 years old today. Gorgeous to have three days away with you last week, Paddington. I know Grandad and Grandma are spoiling you lots today. 🐾

So proud! I’m always proud of the shows, company and achievements of them but today is something very special for me. From initial conversations @chrisharperproductions to then pencil drawing the idea, endless meetings with the incredible @sophiefieldsendflorals & @burnttoastsfx reuniting me with my ‘Les Mis’ days, to then site visits, delays, so much red tape and approvals and H&S etc… to finally the Lion returns to London today and is on full display @stpancrasinternational ahead of its run @sadlers_wells is just the most incredible feeling to have been a part of making this Flower Aslan happen. Jamie, Casey, Sophie, Harry, Pete, Benjy, Jules, Paul, Nicole, Annagh, Alex to name a few have been a brilliant bunch of humans to create this beast for our show @lionwitchstage 🦁💐🌺 I’m at St Pancras with it today 12:30-1:30pm come catch it!
