Starstruck was on the way. “Thank you for your truly lovely words about Starstruck so far. I’m sorry if I haven’t replied, but we started shooting something else this week,” she tweeted, with a photo of her and a clapperboard which read “Starstruck 2”. The romcom had risen to the top of the BBC iPlayer “New & Trending” section by Monday, having been widely praised by critics as a breath of fresh air in the normally sickly realm of romantic comedy. Supplied Rose Matafeo as Jessie in Starstruck, which has become a hit in the UK. The Telegraph arts editor, Anita Singh, said Matafeo’s “goofy” acting and Snedden’s “smart” writing combined to make a timeless story. The story doesn’t shy away from sex – the plot starts with a one-night stand – but Sing said it was well scripted.
