Overcoming Challenges With Dyslexia

In addition to her return to AGT, Mel has taken on a variety of projects, including narrating the animated children’s series Happy Town. However, she recently opened up about the challenges she faced while recording the show due to her late-in-life dyslexia diagnosis.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast hosts Jon Kay and Sarah Campbell, Mel revealed that learning to read a script and match her timing with the characters was no easy task.

“It took me a few times because now I’ve actually recorded 60 episodes,” she admitted. “The first few episodes were very difficult and challenging. But the more I did it, the more I got used to it and the more I enjoyed it.”

The Netflix series, hosted by Holly Willoughby, follows British stars as they attempt to evade Bear Grylls while navigating the treacherous Central American jungle.
