This week on My TV Journey with Lola, I’m joined by the brilliant and hilarious Shelley Gill — a casting powerhouse with over 10 years of experience working across UK and US networks. From First Dates (C4) to The Rap Game UK (BBC3) and Secret Crush (ITV), Shelley has helped shape the faces of some of the most loved unscripted shows on TV.
We talk about everything:
✨ Street casting
✨ Code switching in the TV industry
✨ Casting escorts, influencers, and terminally ill patients — all in a day’s work
✨ Surviving a full-on storm on a tiny boat during filming
Shelley shares how she got her start, the pressure of first series launches, and the joy of helping people break into the industry. It’s funny, inspiring, and totally unfiltered.
