Filming and playing Louis has been an incredible experience. This was my first time in a TV show playing the lead character, meaning that I was required on set for 12 hours everyday within the 6 months we were filming for. Whilst it was exhausting at times, it was great fun and I loved every second (apart from the 5:30am call times!) All filming took place in Northern Ireland, so I was away from home for 6 months. Although I missed my family (and dogs) I was well looked after, living in a house with other male cast members and having a brilliant chaperone. Due to covid restrictions, I was only allowed to socialize with other cast members, so we really became each other’s family while we were away.
