Interpreting at Britain’s Got Talent 2019: The Champions

Interpreting at Britain’s Got Talent 2019: The Champions was an unforgettable experience. When I was contacted on behalf of ITV with the request to provide a Russian-English interpreting service for one of their contestants who couldn’t speak English very well, it didn’t take me long to say yes! I had never been on TV before and was understandably nervous but everyone was so supportive and helpful backstage during the two days of rehearsals and filming that soon I forgot about the pressure of being on stage together with Ant and Dec and in front of all those famous judges. After all they weren’t going to judge ME! Unfortunately, my contestant didn’t get through to the final but I was most thankful to ITV for the magical experience and a chance to see how the show is made from the inside. When the filming was over Simon Cowell came up to us to say hello and thanked me for my help with interpreting - as simple as that! As it turned out, there was nothing to be scared of – it was just another day at the office! You can see me at work by clicking here
