You might have recently spotted actress Di Smith with her famous red curls bouncing and a huge grin on her face as she plunges into a pool as part of a new Bupa television commercial.
While Di is busy making a splash, Woman’s Day can reveal off camera the 64-year-old former star of A Country Practice and The Great Outdoors is also living her best life!
Recently the soap favourite has been busy producing a smash hit play all about women.
“I’ve had such a wonderful year so far,” shares Di, who has just filmed a guest role in comedian Celeste Barber’s much-anticipated new eight-part Netflix comedy-drama series Wellmania.
“I’m one of her biggest fans. I listened to her reading her book, Challenge Accepted, a few years ago and I just fell in love with her. She’s a mighty fine actor, hilarious and so good-hearted.
“I was lucky enough to be on set with her for a few days on her own project. It was a tiny little part that kind of grew.”
