From the age of nine, she was educated at a boarding school in Charolais with her sister. It was there that she discovered her passion for theatre.

In the advert, Casey, dressed as a cleaning lady, sprays the product on a large board table, puts on an apron and proceeds to slide down the table on her stomach.
