"Yeah, and I was like, look, I’m a mum, I’m a working mum ‘cause the kids were like, ‘It’s Ryan Reynolds! We have to go!’ So I was like, I’m a working mum, unfortunately you’re gonna have to bring all three of my children out, and they were like, yeah, sure, fine," she told Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett on their podcast Dish.

She added: "And then they got to meet him. Him and Rob McElhenney. And they were delicious. They were so kind, they’re so lovely.

"So yeah, I think what they’re doing for Wales – in terms of Wrexham and stuff – it’s really genuine. You know what I mean?

"Like often when people – unfortunately the way that Wales has been portrayed for such a long time is like we’re the poor relation, do you know what I mean?

Charlotte continued: "And a lot of people talk about us with- taking the p***, but actually it feels like… it’s really like, uplifting. And they’re doing it with a lot of care, and integrity, I think."
