“Teenage Boss took a big leap as a traditional production company to film an episode with a deaf family that uses sign language as their primary language,” says Watkins. “So one of the episodes is entirely in Auslan, and not with myself having an interpreter, with me being able to sign directly to the family and the team. I’m really excited for people to see that.”

And while audiences have seen her in yellow as a Wiggle and in orange as Emma Memma, for Teenage Boss: Next Level, Watkins is entering her power suit era with a selection of spiffy blazers, albeit with a very Emma twist.

“The wardrobe changed throughout the series,” says Watkins. “It started in a more power suit situation, but then as it went on I realised that, of course, I would wear a headband and a flower in my hair and cute little bee earrings that I had at home. I got to wear a pink suit for one of the episodes and then this really nice orange velvet, I was like, ‘I want this. This is like Emma Memma nighttime.’”

Teenage Boss: Next Level returns on Saturday, October 12, at 7.30pm on ABC Family.
