Episode 96: Special Guest, Georgia De Gidlow (Actor, Keedie in A Kind Of Spark and Writer)

My special guest on this episode of the 21andsensory Podcast is the wonderful Georgia De Gidlow. Georgia is an actor who is based both in Belfast and in London. She made her on-screen debut in a lead role in the BBC’s 'A Kind of Spark', which was nominated for a number of awards, including an Emmy nomination for casting. It won “Best Children’s Programme” at the 2024 Broadcast Awards.






Georgia has also played Wendy in the Watford Palace Theatre’s production of Peter Pan, proving her strong ability on stage.






Something you may not know about Georgia is that she has a degree in Politics and International Relations, and continues to have an aptitude for writing and journalism.
