Kilmany Uniting Care
Excellent, Denise was funnier than I expected her to be. The ladies had a well earned laugh. Denise was quick witted and worked well with the audience, who were able to relate to her very easily. She made the effort to give everyone attention, posing for photos and chatting to the ladies. Many made the comment that she was even more fantastic in person than on the TV. She was professional and nothing was a worry for her.
