Kelly's Heroes - Craig Kelly catches up with friend and Benidorm star Julie Graham

For the past few weeks we've been running a special series - Kelly's Heroes with Queer as Folk star Craig Kelly.

In each programme, Craig catches up with one of his famous friends to reminisce about old times and check in on how they're coping with life during these strange times.

In this fourth programme we're showcasing, Craig meets friend and Benidorm star Julie Graham.

Craig saysJulie talks to me from her house in Brighton. We chat about her catchphrase 'Hello baby', the time at the Donmar Warehouse in our sell out play Helpless, where knickers were actually thrown at the curtain call and when Sam Mendes brought his recently won oscars backstage at press night as one of the actors snatched the Oscar from his hand to practice their acceptance speech in the mirror. We also talk about working with national treasure Martin Clunes multiple times and wandering around hotel corridors naked in the middle of the night. We discuss how she wrote and got her online TV series Dun breedin' made and aired during lockdown.

Julie also tells me her fantasy dinner party guests, why she wants her next part to be a clairvoyant, how much fun those Peugeot 106 ads were and of course reveals and sings her favourite song.
