The series' caption added that the four children “became great playmates while filming – especially on the long days with a large cast, as seen here.”

“This new clique of little stars wanted to immortalise their day in typical film style with a clapperboard – and our camera crew was ready with a suitably small clapperboard!!

“Next time you [Myla]it will take place in a more dramatic context…but until then our lips are sealed xx.”
