Lydia West

In series two, it will have been a year since Maggie (Coughlan) and Eddie (West) last spoke. Eddie has since befriended spiritual healer Whitney, and become much more mature. This is, of course, terrible news for Maggie. Are the two still compatible? Or will their friendship be lost forever?

“Deeply grateful to everyone who loves our mad, funny, sad show,” said Nicola Coughlan. “It’s been one of the greatest joys of my life making it, and I’m beyond delighted that we get to come back and tell the next chapter of Maggie and Eddie’s story. Rats at the ready.”

Maggie (Coughlan) and Eddie (West) will be forced to see if their decade long friendship will survive into their thirties, as the return of Maggie’s bipolar disorder compels Eddie to consider whether the friendship is worth maintaining.

Swapping the Pink Palace for the equally glamorous Bake Off tent, Olly Alexander, Lydia West, Nathaniel Curtis and Shaun Dooley will be competing to see who can whip up the best festive bakes.
