…and guess who took a starring role in the video to promote this historic event? Yup, yours truly is front and centre of the YouTube video announcing the UK Government’s new WhatsApp account.

I had to draw on all my best acting skills for this project – the video has me proclaiming the news in front of Big Ben and other City of London landmarks, then I’m looking sad as the crowds walk past and I realise I’m no longer needed (not really!) … then happy again as I drown my sorrows in a local pub.
