After recent releases like Changing Ends, Count Abdulla and Significant Other, there's a new comedy series joining the ranks – Ruby Speaking.
The new six-part series will be available to watch in full on ITVX from Thursday 22nd June 2023 and explores the downright hilarious life of Ruby (played by Jayde Adams) as she navigates being newly single, her Bristol call centre job and her generally chaotic life.
It's being led by comedian Adams, who many will recognise for her numerous comedy shows and features, with one of her most recent TV appearances being on 2022's Strictly Come Dancing where she was partnered with Karen Hauer.

According to the synopsis: "Newly-single Ruby (Jayde Adams) is a fun and irreverent member of the customer service team at the Bristol call centre of Hellocom. The life and soul of her workplace, Ruby struggles to read from the prepared script that work and life have foisted upon her, choosing instead to walk her own chaotic path.
"Comedy Ruby Speaking follows Ruby and her ragtag bunch of colleagues at the Hellocom call centre as they live, love, laugh and enter a choir competition they have no business being in."
