Overview
- Page said she told her husband and mother about the Christmas finale despite strict instructions to keep it confidential, with scripts even disguised under the email subject line “Toffee Apple.”
- She recalled crying throughout filming and later calling the behind-the-scenes documentary “borderline traumatic,” though she managed to watch the episode calmly with her family.
- A surprise missed call from co-writer James Corden alerted her that a final special was moving ahead to address the unresolved 2019 storyline, she said.
- Discussing her career, Page said acting will take a back seat as she focuses on presenting, podcasting and family life, and some reports note she has expressed interest in retraining as a sex therapist.
- Coverage reiterates the finale’s scale, reporting it as the UK’s most-watched scripted programme since 2002 with more than 19.3 million viewers.
