Season 13 of The Dumping Ground<\/em> is set to bow on CBBC and BBC iPlayer on January 17.<\/p>\n

The new season will see Dani Harmer, who has played Tracy Beaker since 2002 and gone on to star in various spin-off shows, make a one-off appearance and direct an episode, marking her directorial debut.<\/p>\n

The show has been filmed in the North East for 12 years, including most recently in Hexham. It is made by BBC Studios Kids & Family Productions. BBC Children\u2019s and Education and BBC Studios work closely with North East Screen to cultivate a lasting legacy in the region for the creative industry.<\/p>\n

Harmer commented, \u201cIt is so good to be back and making a cameo as Tracy\u2014she\u2019s been a part of my life for over 20 years now, but I\u2019d quite happily play her forever! This series of The Dumping Ground<\/em> will not disappoint; we\u2019ve got some fantastic storylines and some incredibly talented actors joining the cast. The team does such an amazing job nurturing them, and they have really supported me behind the camera, too. It\u2019s such a special production to be working on. I loved being behind the scenes for an episode. It was very different being sat in the director\u2019s chair, but I enjoyed every single second of it. It felt like that was where I was meant to be!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
