I’ve been to Greenacres in North Wales, Thorpe Park near Cleethorpes and we often go to The Orchards as it’s not far from where we live.

You can imagine my delight when I landed the contract to appear in the Haven TV commercial – with the added bonus of being the ‘Face of Haven’ for 2011!

I was shouting and jumping around with excitement when I heard the news. There were so many other children at the auditions that I didn’t think I’d be successful. It was a real dream come true!

Filming the commercial was easy I just had to play myself. It was loads of fun.

I had a week off school to do all the things I like best, like playing on the flumes and slides and going in the Water Walkerz.

My working day involved cycling, adventure golf, games on the beach and crabbing in rock pools, trying out the climbing walls and having a go at fencing.

The filming took place at three different parks and the only thing I didn’t much like was the travelling.

I’m already looking forward to another holiday with my family at Hafan y Mor. I’ll be able to do all the things I did for the commercial and spend some time with my family.

Look out for your chance to win a family break at Haven in next week’s issue of First News.
