During dinner itself one of the handful of guests who got the chance to speak and meet Ozcivit, was Adil Hussain of Blackburn. Twenty-year-old Adil was joined by his siblings as they spent time with Ozcivit chatting about his roles.
Adil is a big fan of the series and has watched all the episodes and was said to be ‘overjoyed’ to have met Ozcivit in person.
