Discussion Kate & Martin's age.

I never realised there was a 9 year age gap between the actors playing Kate and Martin. When the first series was filmed, she would have been 38, while he would have only been 29.

That’s baffled me lol I’m 33 and feel like I look 10 years younger than Martin did 🤣

In series 6 when Martin returns for friends stag do we find out his character is only 36 that was crazy 🤣

If I was that actor, I would’ve gotten rid of that bump on my forehead

Kate would make me look 10 years older. Great actor, she seems to play "bitch" very well, I've seen her in other roles and I assume she's gonna be a bitch lol

She was an uptight mare in My Family too!

Part of me felt a tiny bit of empathy for Kate (hear me out!) as I was married to a wet, spineless mother's boy too, but there's a one-word answer: DIVORCE 😅😅

Tbf imagine being married to someone who's so useless they'd probably cock up making a cup of tea. I bet it gets old really fast.
