Pretty Little Liars producer invites Olympic gymnasts to set

Written by . Published: August 12 2016

Olympic gold medallist Simone Biles has gleefully accepted an invitation to visit the set of hit TV drama Pretty Little Liars from creator I. Marlene King.


The gymnast has been open about her love for the teen series and after winning her second gold medal in the women's individual all-around competition at the Rio Olympics on Thursday (11Aug16), King reached out to Simone and her Final Five teammates to express her admiration.


"Hey Simone, I heard you are a PLL fan, well we are huge fans of yours and everybody there," she gushed in a video posted on Twitter. "We're so proud of what you're doing in Rio. Come see us as soon as you get home and bring your friends!"


King's invitation was reposted on the official Pretty Little Liars Twitter page, alongside the message: "Hey @Simone_Biles! @imarleneking wants you & the #FinalFive to come to PLL set when you get back - are you in?"


The excited 19-year-old happily responded, "Yes x27238833 times," to which King replied, "So proud of you and the #FinalFive. See you in Rosewood @Simone_Biles @PPLTVSeries."


King is not Biles' only fan in Hollywood - her movie crush Zac Efron has also been cheering her on via social media, while Taylor Swift, Uzo Aduba, and Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton have been sending congratulatory notes online, too.


The Final Five gymnasts have dominated in Brazil - they won gold in the women's team all-around on Tuesday (09Aug16) and Simone was joined on Thursday's podium by teammate Aly Raisman, who took home the silver for Team USA.
