So how did you get into the tv industry?
I started by doing work experience on Deal or No Deal just to gain a bit of an insight into the industry and to gather some contacts for the future. A few months later I heard there were some runner positions going at Deal or No Deal and decided to apply. I didn’t get the job at first as I didn’t have enough experience in tv so decided to gain some more experience by applying for jobs not just in Bristol but nationwide.

What are the best and worst parts of your current job?
I have really enjoyed managing a team of runners over the course of this contract as you need to be organised and be ready at all times to solve any problem that arises. I like a challenge in life and this job has definitely had some challenging moments. I am a people person at heart so really enjoyed going on the audition tour and helping the contestant team pick new players for the upcoming shows.
There are some jobs you have to do that nobody really likes doing like making teas and coffees and general cleaning duties throughout the site but it all has to be done as you can’t really film with a filthy studio.

What has been your favorite role within the tv industry?
Last summer I was working with the celebrity booker on itunes festival for Endemol which was aired on ITV2. The job involved looking after the guests that were going to be interviewed in the show and bands that were performing over the month. There were 62 concerts in 31 days so was quite an intense month but a lot of fun.
What do you plan to do after this contract ends?
I’ve started applying for researcher roles in London as that would be the natural progression in my career. London also seems to be the city that has the most amount of shows being made so is a good place to start looking for work.

What advice would you give people coming into the industry?
Be polite to everyone, get your work done quickly and efficiently, choose a path, follow it and remember everyone is a contact for the future.
