Ryan Sampson as Grumio in 'Plebs'

Ryan Sampson would love to add to the Plebs cast with Rosamund Hanson, who he wants to play Grumio's long lost sister.

Keen for the star to play his alter-ego's sibling in the ITV2 comedy, he also hoping to get a love interest if the series is recommissioned.

Speaking to BANG Showbiz he explained: "One of my best friends is an actress who would be ideal for Grumio's girlfriend so it would be great if there was a Grumio romance. That's what I want to happen.

"Rosamund Hanson, who plays Smell in 'This is England', would be really good as Grumio's long-lost sister. She's got that vacant look which would be exactly right."

Ryan's been delighted with guest stars who have been on the show, especially Danny Dyer, as he ordered a drink for the cast as soon as he got to the set.

"The first night he got there we were all sitting down around a table having a couple of drinks and he goes, 'Right, Limoncellos for everyone.'

"Then this waitress comes and just pours loads of Limoncellos so it was obviously pre-arranged, which is weird because there's this kind of big, butch guy who likes his lemon-flavoured liqueur and it's his first night here and he'd decided it was a big night out for everyone."

What's more, Ryan used Danny's appearance to create a Simon Says-style game about the actor.

"I made this game up called 'Do You Dare Do What Danny Dyer Does Do' and one night we had to match whatever Danny Dyer did.

"The answer to it is - none of us can do what Danny Dyer does do. The man is a machine."

'Plebs' series two is out to own on DVD now.
