“We were just like guinea pigs, it was excellent. It was brilliant because I was hoping to travel in the Summer anyway and they just paid for me to do it,” Miss Padley said.

Despite starring in the show, Miss Padley is still relatively new to camping, having only started last year.

“It’s not something I’ve done my entire life, but I do love to travel, and then obviously the pandemic hit and we couldn’t get on a plane.

“So I got myself a tent and pitched up at a few campsites, visited a few places and thought ‘this is amazing.’”

Even so, she hopes The Perfect Pitch brings new people to the hobby: “The UK is unbelievable, and I didn’t appreciate it enough until I got my camping socks on.”
