Tia Kofi hosts The Final FronTia, the podcast where the worlds of Sci-Fi and Drag collide for an unforgettable experience. The Glamorous Geek will be joined by Sci-Fi's biggest stars and the universe's top fans to talk about the moments that made them, behind the scenes tea and their geeky guilty pleasures.

Iconic actor? Tick. Humble Queen? Tick. HUGE Drag fan? Tick. Dani Harmer came to fame in 2002, at the age of 13 years old, as the titular character in the CBBC show "The Story of Tracy Beaker". She has gone on to be one of the country's biggest children's TV stars - starring in "Dani's House", the BAFTA nominated "Tracy Beaker Returns", "The Tracy Beaker Survival Files", "My Mum Tracy Beaker" and "The Beaker Girls", playing the role she became famous for on-off for over two decades.

In this episode of The Final FronTia, we get to know the real Dani Harmer. Tia and Dani talk about experiences meeting fans (and people mistaking Dani for her character), the pressure of growing up in the public eye and the difficulties faced by modern child actors in the age of social media. They also explore their shared love for Disney and their dream roles in musical theatre.
