New UK comedy
Starstruck, featuring New Zealander Rose Matafeo (
Dead Pixels, Funny Girls, Squinters, Have You Been Paying Attention?) will premiere on ABC in late June.
The six-part series follows the antics of Jessie (Rose Matafeo) as she navigates the complications that arise after having a one-night stand with a celebrity.
Created and co-written by Matafeo, it also features Tom Kapoor, Emma Sidi and Minnie Driver.
The series recently launched to positive reviews in the UK.
Co-written by Rose and Alice Snedden (Funny Girls, Bad News), Jessie is a millennial living in East London juggling two dead end jobs. Following a drunken New Year’s Eve hook-up, she finds herself navigating the awkward morning-after-the-night-before when she discovers that her random hook-up is actually the famous film star Tom Kapoor (Nikesh Patel; Four Weddings and a Funeral, Hulu; Indian Summers).

Grill’d has released a cheeky new TVC this week to promote the launch of its new Healthy Fried Chicken (HFC) Burgers via Sherpa.
The ‘No Secrets’ TVC campaign shines a light on the ‘secret’ additives and preservatives found within their fast-food competitors’ burgers which are not found in Grill’d burgers.
When it comes to its 100% Natural Healthy Fried Chicken (HFC) Burgers and the rest of the burger menu, Grill’d doesn’t believe in secrets – herbs, spices or otherwise, and has always given customers full access to the ingredient breakdown in their burgers. The ad aims to champion transparency within the industry and hold brands accountable for the ingredients in their food, calling out three examples of additives hidden in KFC such as tripolyphosphate of sodium, MSG and 551.
