Taylor’s mum Laura Bell said: “The show was filmed in Budapest this time last year. Although he only appears in two episodes Taylor plays a key role and he has won himself quite a few fans already.”

Acting comes naturally to this gifted youngster who last year was on the red carpet with 'Lost' star Matthew Fox and Joanne Froggatt of ‘Downton Abbey’ fame after he was cast in the thriller 'Last Light.’ Tom Wlaschiha (“Game of Thrones”), and Amber Rose Revah (Marvel’s “The Punisher”) also starred in the series, based on the bestselling novel by Alex Scarrow, about a family's desperate bid to reunite against a background of chaos as the world is brought to near collapse during an energy crisis.

And in June this year Taylor will star in a show about the life of comedian Alan Carr. ‘Changing Ends’ is an ITVX comedy made by the multi-award winning Baby Cow Productions. Alan will star in the series as himself in present day, whilst taking on the role of young Alan is rising star Oliver Savell. And Taylor Fay plays his younger brother Gary.

Taylor is following in the footsteps of his talented sister Jessica who is also an accomplished actress, writer and film maker who hold the title of the youngest award winning film maker in the UK.
