“There will never be true equality in the representation of women in comedy until I can openly talk shit about a female comedian being bad,” she said in the interview. “Because there are just too few of us to let the team down like that.”

Rose Matafeo has taken to social media today (June 10) to confirm a second season of Starstruck and to joke about the fate of Jessie.

The first season was made up of six-parts and arrived on BBC iPlayer back in April. The plot follows a young woman in London who wakes up after a one night stand to discover she has slept with a movie star.
Matafeo, creator and writer of Starstruck, shared a picture on Twitter which showed an opened Word document with ‘Series Two Pitches’ as the heading. Underneath were a number of wild “plot pitches”, one of which said “Jessie dies.”
Other suggestions were: “Jessie gets hot and ripped. Tom is a flat earther…Tom uploads her to an external hard drive.”

Matafeo announced the news earlier today (June 10) saying: “Thrilled that Starstruck will be returning to the BBC Three for a second series, because I left my water bottle on set last year and I would love to get it back.”
“There will never be true equality in the representation of women in comedy until I can openly talk shit about a female comedian being bad,” she said in the interview. “Because there are just too few of us to let the team down like that.”
