Ruby Speaking on ITVX and ITV1 is set in a call center and stars Jayde Adams, Katherine Kelly and Amy-Leigh Hickman.

Ruby Speaking is a comedy that pokes fun at those we all dread having to deal with — workers at a call centre!
Comedian and actress Jayde Adams was a huge hit on Strictly Come Dancing 2022 and now she plays a character who is just as popular in her own line of work.
This time, she’s the bubbly and likeable Ruby, the life and soul of her call centre in Bristol in the UK. Ruby can’t bring herself to stick to the script, in the workplace or in life in general, so walks her own chaotic path. The series also stars former Coronation Street and Mr Selfridge star Katherine Kelly as well as Ackley Bridge star Amy-Leigh Hickman.

I'm a huge fan of television so I really have found the perfect job, as I've been writing about TV shows, films and interviewing major television, film and sports stars for over 25 years. I'm currently TV Content Director on What's On TV, TV Times, TV and Satellite Week magazines plus Whattowatch.com. I previously worked on Woman and Woman's Own in the 1990s. Outside of work I swim every morning, support Charlton Athletic football club and get nostalgic about TV shows Cagney & Lacey, I Claudius, Dallas and Tenko. I'm totally on top of everything good coming up too.
