“Don’t Feel Sorry For Me”

Pink Paper: It’s been a while since we interviewed you for Britannia High. What have you been up to?

Mitch Hewer: I finished Britannia High last December, and then I went to LA for six weeks. I spent a lot of time auditioning and it was awesome. It’s been quite an unlucky year, as I’ve made it down to the final few for various roles and then lost out at the last minute.

It’s been hard since Britannia High. I had 2009 all planned out as we were going to do a second series and even a tour – but that was all taken away from us and it was hard to deal with. The whole year has been hard, but it should be a good laugh now that I’m in Never Forget.

MH: It was just one of those things. When you hype something up so much people are bound to be disappointed. I think it was the wrong day. They were given the option of showing it on a Saturday night straight before the X-Factor, but chose to show it on a Sunday afternoon, which was a very funny time. It was a shame, because the music and choreography were amazing and the cast was great. It was really disappointing.
