Oscar said: ‘I did ask James in the process of filming. He said it’s just what the people want.

‘Me, I would love it to happen. It really depends what other people think about it and whether they like it or not.’

Oscar said on GMB he re-auditioned for the part of Neil but never expected to land the role for the second time.

He said: ‘I didn’t really get my hopes up as there were other people who did acting. I was in a couple of newspapers and they noticed me.

‘I did my audition in Cardiff. A few weeks later I found out I got the job. It was really cool.

‘I thought I was getting a different part but I actually got Neil. I was really excited about filming.’
