SYNOPSIS
Once upon a time, Hugo was a TV sensation adored by millions. Now he lives a different but very happy life in complete anonymity as a janitor in a smart hotel with his adopted daughter Squeaky.
One day, whilst celebrating Squeaky's birthday, Hugo inadvertently causes mayhem when he gatecrashes the book launch of a famous family behavioural expert, Mrs Ratched-Cunningham. With all the attention these calamities bring, Hugo becomes the focus of Ms Smith from Social Services and despite his greatest efforts, Squeaky is taken away. Heartbroken, Hugo finds himself with no home, no job and most importantly...no Squeaky.
Help - of sorts - comes in the unlikely form of a game show producer Simone who recognises Hugo from his once famous past and offers him a part in her show. Hugo knows this could be his only chance to win Squeaky back, but something big is holding him back...
Can he conquer his fears in order to win Squeaky back?!
