Speaking to C BBC Radio Wales host Carol Vorderman, Wadia said she found it ‘weird’ to work with O’Hanlon as she was such a fan of his work.
She said: “Oh my God I am such a Father Ted fan.
“When they told me I’d be playing his love interest I was like, ‘I can’t, it’s Dougal from Father Ted!”
Wadia also described acting alongside O’Hanlon, Don Warrington and Ade Edmonson as “comedy heaven.”
