"Michaela brought the audience to hysterics as she delved into the behind-the-scenes of her television career and the struggles of working with animals, including having a young group of orangutans steal her makeup bag and destroy all the contents from up in the trees, with two weeks left of filming." - Essex Wildlife Trust
