"Jane Horrocks has revealed that she based her character in Trollied on a contestant from Come Dine With Me. Horrocks plays Julie, the acting deputy manager at budget supermarket Valco, in the new Sky1 comedy. &amp;quot;She is a big snob,&amp;quot; Horrocks told What&amp;#039;s On TV. &amp;quot;She is incredibly ambitious and wants the deputy manager role permanently. &amp;quot;She has worked her way up in Valco over 20 years, but she was jilted several years ago, which threw her off-kilter, and she is carrying a lot of angst.&amp;quot; Horrocks added that she once saw a woman &amp;quot;just like Julie&amp;quot; on an episode of Come Dine With Me. &amp;quot;[She was] a real snob who got things a bit wrong and used malapropisms,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;She was really dismissive of the other competitors and thought that they really wouldn&amp;#039;t know what she was cooking anyway so she was just going to cook rubbish for them. She is on my screensaver on my computer. I don&amp;#039;t look like her, but she was absolutely how I thought Julie would be.&amp;quot; Horrocks also suggested that a supermarket is a good setting for a comedy, saying: &amp;quot;It hasn&amp;#039;t been done much before, but it is so universal. There is so much scope for stories - people will watch it and recognise themselves and think, &amp;#039;Oh, I&amp;#039;ve done that&amp;#039;, whether it&amp;#039;s manoeuvring trolleys or opening those stupid little bags for fruit and veg.&amp;quot; Trollied will begin on August 4 at 9pm on Sky1. &amp;gt; Jane Horrocks: &amp;#039;Tesco adverts saved me from crap acting jobs&amp;#039; Watch Sky1&amp;#039;s comedy reel, which includes a clip of Trollied, below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
