A Norfolk woman got to experience life in plastic as a stand-in for Margot Robbie in the blockbuster Barbie movie.

Lucy Scarfe has performed the role of stand-in on several high-profile films, including Glass Onion with Kate Hudson, Cruella with Emma Stone and Murder On The Orient Express with Daisy Ridley.

But of all the projects she has worked on, Miss Scarfe said that Barbie has had the biggest impact.

Lucy, 34, started working on Barbie in January 2022.

"I was Margot's stand-in but I also did lots of the first hair, makeup and costume testing," she said.

"They need to see how all the shapes and colours work together in front of the camera and under the lights before shooting starts.

"I tried on hundreds of costumes which was so much fun - my favourite was the pink gingham dress.

"I also tested all of Margot's wigs and helped them find the perfect tan.

"Then I rehearsed and blocked out all of Margot's scenes with the director Greta [Gerwig].

"The set was so nostalgic, it took me back to being a child."

The actress, was raised in Hempstead near Holt and attended Sheringham High School and the UEA, said her favourite part of rehearsals was driving Barbie's car - a pink 1956 Corvette.

"Margot and Ryan [Gosling, who plays Ken] were amazing, so down to earth and funny," said Lucy.

"She gave me a present and a card when we wrapped and was always organising treats like food trucks for everyone.

"It didn't feel like work. The set was different to any other I've been on.

"And it was so refreshing to have a female director."

Barbie has made history as the biggest opening weekend for a female director ever.

The film has brought in more than £500 million at the Box Office in its first week.

Miss Scarfe said: "I knew it would be popular because it was Barbie but I didn't anticipate this.

"I've done other big films but this is different.

"And it's nice to see people getting it and hearing the message."
