โ€œMiss Grayling will see you nowโ€ฆโ€ ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ๐Ÿซ
We had the absolute pleasure of talking with Jennifer Wigmore about her journey as Miss Grayling in Malory Towers, a role she reprises for Series 4 which we will be starting soon!
We discussed it all, from her very first scene to the emotional experience of saying goodbye to the role (twice!).
We spoke about friendships on set (including the brilliant Ashley McGuire as Matron), unforgettable filming moments, the atmosphere behind the scenes, and why strong female characters like Miss Grayling matter so much to young audiences.
Jennifer was funny, thoughtful, warm, and so generous with her time - and we genuinely think Malory Towers fans are going to love hearing her stories.
And yesโ€ฆ Grace also tested her on how well she really knows Miss Grayling with a quiz at the end ๐Ÿ‘€
