“I’m being serious – a lot of people think I’m joking around – I’ve actually got in a Hollywood movie!” she exclaimed.

“It’s Hotel Transylvania 3: A Monster Vacation – so it’s just my voice. It’s an animation film. It’s the third film.”

“You’ll know that the first film made like $400 million worldwide. It’s a big film,” she added. “I’m actually taking it quite seriously!”

Revealing details about her character, Alison continued: “She’s beautiful, she’s got a sexy body, red hair and I’m going to have a love affair with Adam Sandler’s character.”

A life-size imitation of Adam’s character, Dracula, then appeared alongside her.

“This is who my character is going to love,” she said. “We’re going to have a love interest. How amazing is that?”

Phil then revealed they had a message for Alison from the film’s director, Genndy Tartakovsky.

In the video message, Genndy said: “Alison, we’re super excited for you to join our cast!”

“The character you’re playing is very unique so you’re going to have to bring all your talents to be successful at this,” he continued.

“One piece of advice I want to give you is to visualise – so pretend you’re a beautiful woman with a giant 4ft arm… and then the voice will come naturally.

“Thank you and good luck!”

As the camera returned to the studio, Phil said: “Well, she doesn’t have to pretend to be a beautiful woman because she is a beautiful woman.”

Laughing, Alison gushed: “Thank you Phil.”

“This is going to be so weird,” she added. “I’m actually quite nervous because this is serious. Maybe I should do it in an American accent? What do you think? Or a brummie accent? I don’t know what to do!”

Alison then tried out a few different accents leaving Phil and Holly in hysterics.

“Can’t wait to see it,” Phil said. “This is your big break! You mess this up and it’s all over but if you get this right, then you’re on your way!”

“This is going to be in the cinemas guys, this is big,” Alison added.
