🎆 Happy New Year from all at On The Sofa! Today we dig into some fascinating stuff about what daily life actually looks like for a soap star. 

And there's a lot more graft that you might expect as we get a peak behind the scenes of what goes down on a day filming on the Street. From Colson arriving obscenely early to positioning the boom microphone, it’s an insight not to be missed.

[Producer note: It's honestly dead interesting]

Plus, Colson has been trying out an incredibly tasteful new cinema experience in Manchester.

Ben will be back with us on usual service shortly. He sends his love.
