Go behind the scenes with Global Village Director of Entertainment ahead of Season 27

Let me set the scene. A burning man engulfed in dancing flames leaps from an 80-foot platform into a 9ft pool below, drenching the front row as they gasp and shudder on the edge of their seats. Twenty feet away, a tiny car packed with clowns roars past, gleefully beeping the horn and waving manically at passers-by. In the next breath, a troupe of street dancers burst into an energetic routine, before being challenged to a dance battle by a passing Care Bear.

This summer has seen me loosen my belt a few notches. But, with great progress comes great sacrifice – in this case fitting into my favourite jeans. As Senior Leasing Manager at Global Village, it’s my job to make sure every morsel that touches your lips is as exquisite as it can possibly be. And if I need to take daily trips to the Railway Market to ensure every bite is perfect, then so be it.
