Sam’s Games was a comedy which began in 2001 and tracked the lives of four friends who got involved in each other’s lives while renting flats in a large house in London.
Davina starred as Sam, and Matthew played a guy in a cafe who had a crush on her.

They renewed their wedding vows in April 2015 after 15 years of marriage in a low-key ceremony at the Little White Wedding Chapel.
