NICO Mirallegro has revealed that he was shocked by the success of My Mad Fat
Diary.
The actor, who plays lead character Rae Earl’s love interest Finn, said that
while making the E4 show, the cast had no idea how successful it would
become.
He told Heat magazine: “”When we were making it, we had no idea how
much people were going to like it.”
The series averaged over a million viewers across its six episodes and has
been commissioned for a new series.
Filming will begin in a couple of months.
Nico, 22, also said that he loved stripping off in the show.
He said: “I whipped my top off willy-nilly in… Mad Fat Diary.”
“It’s pretty weird, but [I didn’t know it would be happening so much
because] you only ever read the first episode when you audition for
something. I wouldn’t want to do a show where I just lounge about with my
top off all the time, though.”
