Andy said: "Will was asked to provide a self-tape at first. He got to the last four, then two, and then finally he had an interview with the casting director via Skype. The next day we got the news that he'd been successful."Andy described how his family had been "bursting with excitement" as they eagerly awaited the series launch.
"The premiere was incredible," he said. "We were treated like royalty. We mixed with the stars of stage and screen, and Will took it all in his stride. He even signed his first autographs." The family said they have never forgotten the excellent care Will received and remain lifelong supporters of Sheffield Children's Hospital. Over five years, the family - along with a team of volunteers - collected used Christmas trees, raising £52,000 for The Children's Hospice Charity.
