With Jeremy unable to call upon Kaleb Cooper 's help, Harriet stepped in and she has put rumours of bad blood with Kaleb to bed. She told BBC Derby: 'Kaleb's amazing. Me and him got on really well.

Everyone checks in to make sure everyone's fine.' It feels good to the cast They get up close and personal in the TV adaptation of Paris Lees 's memoir What It Feels Like For A Girl, but it wasn't hard for the BBC Three show's cast to get along. Lead actor Ellis Howard has revealed he and his co-stars, including Michael Socha and Hannah Walters, hit it off from the get-go. At the SXSW festival Ellis said: 'It started in the final round of casting. "I walked in and [co-star] Laquarn Lewis was in an Anne Summers one-piece with his arse hanging out. "Then Hannah Jones walked over in eight-inch heels, and I was like, 'What the f***ing hell? It's ten in the morning in Walthamstow'. 'They crashed into my life, but it felt like something was hot-wired in my brain, like I'd been searching my whole life for a connection, and I did with these two.' Laquarn, who plays Lady Di, added: 'We support each other 24/7, though [in] the WhatsApp group, I'm on 'Do Not Disturb' at the minute!' What It Feels Like For A Girl is on BBC iPlayer now. Filming has started on new legal drama Pierre, starring David Harewood. The six-part Channel 4 series will see the award-winning actor play glamorous duty solicitor Pierre. But his character is put to the test when he investigates the suspicious death of a client and begins to uncover a chilling web of corruption. Joining the cast are Boiling Point's Jason Flemyng, Hijack's Nikkita Chadha and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet's Christopher Fairbank.
