Clair, then an actress and model living in Glasgow, told The Sun how she had never watched The Inbetweeners when they first met in 2010, around the time the third season was released.
“I knew of the show and what it was but I didn’t tune in. I didn’t watch it, which might have been a good thing,” the Scottish star joked.
“I did watch a couple of episodes after we met but to this day I don’t think I’ve seen every single episode. James and Jay are nothing alike thank God.”
The couple bonded over their love of The Beatles before meeting in person and had a rather deep chat about the future early on.
Clair told us: “I had a ‘The Beatles’ tattoo on my stomach, which was one of the first things we spoke a about. It's since been covered up after having a couple of babies.
“James was sort of like, ‘Oh my god, a Beatles tattoo’ and we got chatting. It was a huge thing we had in common and our favourite member was George Harrison.
“Early on, I actually told James, if I had a child and he was a boy, Harrison was the name I always wanted and he was on board with that, like, ‘Let’s do it.’”
