Asked if her friends would be surprised to see her act alongside Matt Willis from Busted in the opening minutes of the show, Rosalind Eleazar told Reach and other publications in an exclusive interview: “I think pretty much…

“I haven't even told many of them, but that was quite a spectacular day on set. All the makeup women were like, ‘Oh my god! It’s Matt from Busted.'

“He’s such a lovely man and he’s so funny in that seen. He’s so good and he was a real treat to work with,” she added.

Missing You is available to stream on Netflix from January 1.
