How did James Buckley meet Clair Meek?
While some turn to dating apps like Hinge or celebrity versions like Raya to find love, James and Clair met on a less conventional site Twitter.
Clair has previously admitted she had never watched The Inbetweeners when they first met in 2010 – which was around the time the third season was released.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: “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.
“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.”
Clair also talked about how famous James was when they first starting dating.
“When we had only been dating for a few months, we were in a shopping centre and this big group of elderly people, sixties or seventies, came up to James," she revealed.
“They told him how much they loved The Inbetweeners, I couldn’t believe the age range of fans from 15-year-olds to guys in their seventies."
The couple then married in 2012.
Together they have two children – Harrison, born in 2011, and Jude, born in 2013.
