ITVX comedy set in a call centre

Jayde Adams has started filming the new ITVX comedy Ruby Speaking, in which she stars as a ‘fun and irreverent’ call centre worker.

Producers say her title character is ‘the life and soul of her workplace', Hellocom, who 'struggles to read from the prepared script that work and life have foisted upon her, choosing instead to walk her own chaotic path'.

The six-part series is set in Bristol and written by Abigail Wilson, who has previously worked on the Larkins and Trollied.

Joining the cast are Katherine Kelly as Vicki, Sam Swainsbury as Mark, Joe Sims as Tom, Jamal Franklin as Cameron, Nicky Goldie as Donna, Amy-Leigh Hickman as Ellie, Dan Hiscox as Craig and Kiera Lester as Melons.

ITV say the comedy folllows the colleagues 'as they live, love, laugh and enter a choir competition they have no business being in'. 

Ruby Speaking – which will air on the streaming platform later this year, is made by Yellow Door Productions with executive producer Lucy Lumsden, director Rosie Gaunt-Mathieson and producer Jon Macqueen. I
