Call The Midwife star Laura Main is making dreams come true in her role as the Fairy Godmother this Christmas.
But the popular actor has already had her own wishes granted for the festive season.
The 38-year-old, who plays former nun Shelagh Turner in the BBC Sunday night drama, is back in Aberdeen for an extended two-month stay while she appears in panto at His Majesty’s, the theatre where her career began.
Being able to spend so much time in her home city, while also doing what she loves, is the perfect scenario for the star.
“I’m always on the move, going wherever the work is, but I live in London,” Laura explained.
“That’s where we film Call The Midwife, and although I get up the road as much as I can to see everybody, it’s never been for a period as long as this.
“It’s been that way ever since I left home to go to drama school. I come up often, but there’s always something pulling me back.
“I always hope to be home for Christmas, but last year I was in Leeds with Shrek The Musical. The year before I was in Edinburgh, again with Shrek, so I was able to go home for Christmas Day.
“This year, though, I was back in Aberdeen before the decorations were up and it’s been really lovely.
“I’m staying at my mum and dad’s and being well looked after.
“It’s quite a unique set-up for me, to be with the people I love and also getting to do what I love.
“I’m always very envious of folk who can pop round to their parents’ place for Sunday lunch, because I don’t get to do that, so this is pretty special.”
Janice Forsyth speaks to Jay Glennie and Catherine Steadman about their new books and hears about some Christmas TV treats including The Tiger Who Came To Tea and Call The Midwife.
