This isn’t the first time Josephine has opened up about wanting to work on other projects, particularly from behind the camera. She told HELLO! back in 2021 how she was planning on writing a film. “I'm writing something with my mother, a movie blockbuster,” she said at the time. “We're dreaming big! So we're going to keep writing together and we'll see."

"I already left in series eight, I thought it would be for good, honestly, I thought, 'I'd done.' Then they asked me back for series ten as I was like, 'Hmmm I don’t know, okay I'm going to do it.' But I knew it wouldn't be forever, I knew it.”

She continued: “But I couldn't not come back, it would have been unfair… but I knew it would be just four episodes, to finish the story between the two characters and to be fair to the audience and respect them and that they follow the series… I couldn't just leave like that!"
