"Heidi always says, 'I get really nervous because I know he's got the script now.' So it turns away instantly from her being like, 'No, you're not allowed to look, you're not allowed to know', she then gets terrified: 'Oh, I wonder will he like it? Will he not like it? Will he think it's terrible? Will he think it's good?'
"She always does the same thing, she goes, 'Yes!' If she knows she's made me cry, she knows it's going to be ok and she's really pleased."
