Ruthie added: “There’s a big difference in the known and the unknown and we’re in the unknown.
“It’s really a bit scary. Going in late you’re suddenly feeling much more on show. You’ve got to bring something to the table.”
Russell said: “Don’t think it’s going to be fun at all. I don’t really want to think about the bugs at the moment.”
Ruthie admitted: “I think I’m a tough cookie but I am a bit terrified.”
