Like the rest of the TV-watching UK public, she's captivated by the hot contestants, outrageous fights, and hilarious banter. But she never quite thought \u003ci\u003eshe'd \u003c\/i\u003ebe a part of it, until her company secures a partnership with the production team behind the show, and Cas is handpicked as a contestant.
