Elm schoolgirl will sing alongside Arianna Grande in Wicked

It's been three years since Lily Baker, 11, spent time at Elstree Studios filming alongside the cast of 'Wicked: For Good', which includes Arianna Grande, Jonathan Bailey, and Cynthia Erivo, but her family is greatly looking forward to seeing the final product.

Lily, a pupil at the Thomas Clarkson Academy in Wisbech, was one of six girls, part of the Gals' Brigade featured in the film, who got to sing alongside Arianna for the film's opening number, 'Everyday More Wicked'.

Her proud dad, and fellow actor/extra, Malcolm Day, said Lily, who lives with her family in Elm, was also part of the first Wicked but just as an extra in the background of scenes.

"She absolutely loved shooting the film; it was a great experience for her, " said Malcolm.

Lily, and her older brother Toby, also a pupil at the Thomas Clarkson, started as extras about four years ago, and so the Wicked assignment was one of her first.

Since then, she has been in Dr Who and Casualty, and narrowly missed out on being cast as Hermione in the upcoming Harry Potter television series.

"She auditioned for Hermione and came close to getting the part, but missed out in the end," said Malcolm.

Lily has also appeared alongside Toby in a short film called 'I Believe', which came out at Christmas last year.

Following her appearance with Arianna Grande when the film is released in November, Lily will next be on the big screen in a horror film, which also features her entire family.

'Pinocchio Unleashed', which is due for release early next year, sees Lily play a girl called Mima, while Toby has been cast as a boy called Tony.

Meanwhile, Malcolm will be playing a character with the same name as his own, who is a doorman of a nightclub visited by Pinocchio and his creator/father, Geppetto.

Not to be left out, Amy Baker, Malcolm's wife and mum to Lily and Toby, is one of the film's extras.

Malcolm, who has been an extra and actor since he was 10, said: "Amy joins in when a mum, or a similar character, is needed. She has been doing it for two or three years now."

Malcolm concluded: "It has been fun making a film in which all four of us are involved; we can't wait for it to come out. It will be in cinemas, but we're not sure whether it will be in all cinemas.
