Leading lady Michelle Keegan’s husband Mark Wright also got involved in the hype for the show and gushed over his wife on his Instagram stories.
The TV personality said: “Unbelievable show, unbelievably proud @michkeegan you’re a superstar,”
“Fool me once ALL eps on Netflix worldwide now!! You want a binge!! Get this on now!!”
The couple started dating in 2012, before they eventually tied the knot at St Mary’s Church in Bury St Edmunds in 2015.
Mark and Michelle first met backstage at The X Factor, before they bumped into each other again at a Manchester United charity dinner three days later.
Speaking on the Private Parts podcast with host Jamie Laing, Mark confessed: “I chased her for a while.”
“Basically she gave me the elbow for about a year and then finally I got my way, after a lot of work.”
