The tooth about the Get Real actor

Most of us assume out-of-work actors earn a crust by waiting on tables, doing the odd voiceover and so on.

Lynne Nathan, secretary to Martin Bowley, the chief executive of ITV sales house Carlton Sales, knows better. Actor Simon Godley, one of the stars of Carlton TV’s latest comedy Get Real, fills in his spare hours as her dentist.

Lynne, who was stunned to come into work and see his framed publicity photo on her office wall, is clearly very proud of her multi-talented dentist – even though he was too busy acting to fix her filling at the weekend.
