Further details
Dani has been nominated for her first award and is busy choosing what to wear for her big night. She is also expecting a visit from her old acting class chum, Mo White. Dani appears to be the only person not to realise that Mo is super-duper famous, and Toby and Sam are dumb-struck when the presenter of Strictly Line Dancing and The Y Front Factor walks through the door.
Never one to miss an opportunity, Max tries to cash in on Mo's visit by informing the paparazzi of her whereabouts. This forces Dani to create a decoy plan.

Press
It's getting to the end of the series for this CBBC sitcom. While the writing is a bit simplistic and the unnecessary laugh track is far too intrusive, this comedy in which Dani Harmer plays a teenage actress is far superior to After You've Gone, the primetime sitcom in which she also stars. In this week's episode, Dani has to get ready for her first awards ceremony, while her old acting class friend, Mo White, returns from the United States a superstar. While you may wonder why former Blue Peter presenter Zoe Salmon has been cast as a famous actress, bear in mind this is the same BBC that confuses Nicholas Lyndhurst with a talented sitcom performer.
