"It is a bit nerve-racking because we have not seen what they have done yet.

"The show focuses on one of our floating pods, the Wild Cat Island.

"But despite the nerves at how silly we may be portrayed, we are excited for people to see our projects and how hard we have worked.

"The crew and producers were really lovely so hopefully it is a good representation of our business," Mrs Sparrow said.

The film crews visited the Beccles site last year and Mrs Sparrow says her son Nate is "fizzing with excitement" ahead of appearing on television.
