James and Clair Buckley also have their own podcast which is called In Sickness and Health. Although James is best known for his role as Jay Cartwright in The Inbetweeners, he became the first person to become a millionaire on Cameo (a site where fans pay for personalised video messages from celebrities and politicians such as Nigel Farage).

Clair Buckley has previously told The Sun that she had never watched The Inbetweeners and said: “I knew of the show and what it was but I didn’t tune in. I didn’t watch it, which might have been a good thing.

“I did watch a couple of episodes after we met but to this day I don’t think I ‘ve ever seen every single episode. James and Jay are nothing alike thank God.”
