Young actress's excitement over Torchwood role

IT'S not every day that a seven-year-old girl gets caught up in an alien invasion.

But that's exactly what happened to Gorseinon schoolgirl Aimee Davies when she was snapped up to appear in Torchwood.

The latest run of Swansea writer Russell T Davies's smash-hit sci-fi series will be shown over five consecutive nights next week.

And Aimee, who attends Gorseinon Infants School, will be seen in all five of them.

She plays Mica Davies, the niece of regular series character Ianto Jones, filming her scenes with actor Gareth Lloyd Jones, who plays Ianto, and Eve Myles, from Ystradgynlais, who plays Gwen Cooper.

Aimee is a member of the Mark Jermin Stage School. Her mum Sarah Davies said she would be allowed to watch it. "If I see anything I think is unsuitable, I will switch it over quickly," said Sarah. "But Aimee does know it's all make-believe, and it does look such an amazing story."
