    I’m impressed you stuck with free Duo for so long - after they made it much slower to regain lives I found it awful. Super is a game changer!

    Vix, it was trying to get to Legendary status I was really stuck on. Unless you've got thousands of gems built up, you very quickly run out at a 100 buy-in per attempt, and once you get to that point there's not much else you can do, other than repeated 5 XP practices and waiting for free chests to appear so you can watch an ad for some more gems 🤦‍♀️

    I did have to Google him, Jess! I had that nagging "I'm sure he looks familiar 🤔" feeling and then couldn't help myself! Denzil from Only Fools.... was in it as well, recognised him straight away though (plus a man who has been in both Midsomer Murders and Vera 🤣)
