Nikesh Patel

Like a modern day Notting Hill, the love story was sparked by Matafeo's Jessie sleeping and falling in love with a movie star named Tom Kapoor (Nikesh Patel). Despite many ups and downs, and Tom's agent Cath (Minnie Driver) warning him against dating a 'civilian', the two stuck it out through to series two.

But the second series, which aired in 2022, explored what happens after such a fairy-tale ending, and the drama came to a head in the finale after Tom found out that Jessie had accepted a job from her librarian ex-boyfriend Ben (Edward Easton).

Co-written by Matafeo, Alice Snedden and Nic Sampson, the upcoming six-part third series of Starstruck will continue to tell the story of millennial Londoner Jessie (Matafeo) as she faces the consequences of being romantically entangled with the famous movie star Tom, played by Nikesh Patel (Four Weddings And A Funeral).
