Rose Matafeo as Jessie and Nikesh Patel as Tom in Starstruck HOW, I ask Nikesh Patel, do you film sex scenes in the middle of a pandemic? Scratch that, how do you even do kissing scenes? “All I will say,” Patel explains, “is it involved lots of testing, lots of swabs up the nose, some truly horrific anti-bacterial mouthwash and at any given opportunity we had masks on until it was time to act.” Ah, the romance of it. It’s possible that you may have recently fallen in love with Patel. Since he appeared in the Channel 4 drama Indian Summers, he has become a regular on our TV screens, most recently in the Mindy Kaling reboot of Four Weddings and a Funeral on Hulu.
