Following the huge success of Tracy Beaker Returns on Cbbc, the Bafta-winning show is back with a drama-filled second series in the New Year.
21 year old Dani Harmer (represented by Cole Kitchenn) returns as Tracy and continues her new-found career as a carer at the Dumping Ground.
How does Dani find working with the predominately young cast?
"It is so much fun – I just wish I was a kid again as they always look like they're having a ball!" says Dani. "At first I was a little bit worried as they were all under 16 and I thought, oh my gosh it's going to be really noisy and a little bit crazy, and it can be, but those kids are the best cast I've ever worked with. They really are amazing actors and wonderful off set. They do come to me for advice sometimes but I'm not just there as another...
