Milli Patel (the Popats' cousin) also joins the family's adventures in this series.

Trivia
My Life as a Popat was not recommissioned after the second series due to CITV budget restrains. However, after the show won a BAFTA, a second series was commissioned. Laura Greenwood (Holly Saviour) was axed in the second series so (after a farewell appearance in the first episode) the character was written out. The new character of Lucy Miesels (played by Yasmin Paige) was introduced in the next episode.
Following further budget cuts to CITV My Life as a Popat was not recommissioned for a third series.
