“It’s the first time I’ve ever spoken [up]. I remember being so scared. I looked at this person and I said, ‘You can f- off. I’m gonna work towards a tennis ball. I never want to see you again,'” Ferguson said. “And then I remember the producers came up and said, ‘You can’t do this to number one. We have to let this person be on set.’ I said, ‘But the person can turn around and I can act to the back head.’ And I did.”
She added from that moment she has “never let myself get to a point when I’ve got home and gone, ‘Why did that happen?’”
