This year, I was nominated and chosen as a winner for the Olivier Awards’ #BeInspired Award 2018. I had the opportunity to attend the Oliviers to walk the red carpet and collect my award, as well as party with the stars and be treated like a princess for the night with a stay at a five-star hotel. As you can imagine, it really was a once in a lifetime weekend, so I hope you don’t mind me telling you all about it…
Back when my best friend Izzy nominated me for the 2018 #BeInspired awards, we literally had a conversation about how unlikely it was that I would win. We looked back at last year’s winners, mutually agreed that “well… it was worth a try”, and went for a McDonalds. When, a few weeks later, my phone madly started vibrating with calls, texts and WhatsApps from Iz, naturally I assumed that either something terrible had happened, or that she’d just found a particularly good baby goat video on the internet.
