When Starstruck first arrived on the BBC in 2020, it quickly became one of our favorite rom-com series. The series stars Rose Matafeo and Nikesh Patel as Jessie and Tom, a couple whose worlds are completely different but somehow collide after a drunken New Year’s Eve.
Fast forward to series three (spoiler alert!) Jessie and Tom are moving their lives away from each other, but they’re not completely out of each other’s lives.

Recalling the really lovely story of Nikesh getting down on one knee, Nicoal said of Jeremy Vine: “There were candles everywhere and he was in a tuxedo and there were photos of us everywhere and a little sign that my grandma had passed away. I was in tears.
