Josh said: “My form tutor from High School who I still keep in touch with, old performing friends, family and family friends are all going to be there, so
I’m super excited to get back and show them all what a great show we’ve got.”
He’s also excited about the prospect of returning to his favourite childhood spots in Bedfordshire.
Josh added: I wasn’t really that into restaurants growing up, other than TGI Friday’s. But there was a pub called The Green Man in Offley that
I go back to every now and then when I go and visit my mum back home.
"When I was a kid we actually used to go to a pub called the Fancott, which had a huge play area, a football pitch and train
ride that us kids could go on while we were waiting for our food.
"I remember having an early birthday there and booking out the entire place. Just good, simple food and a lot of memories.”
