- The Guardian debuted a new interview series titled "Making Love," in which the actors behind TV's most famous on-screen relationships relive their real-life romances, with Horne and Page as the flagship subjects.
- Horne and Page frame their meeting as "a classic romcom story," pairing an Essex boy from Billericay with a Welsh girl, with the piece captioned "we met and two minutes later we were kissing."
- The interview's stated highlights include how they met "the one," kissing strangers, and anecdotes about saving people's lives.
- The article is positioned as kickoff coverage for a recurring feature, with Horne and Page – the real-life couple behind BBC sitcom Gavin and Stacey – as the marquee interviewees.
Why it matters: The piece positions The Guardian's new "Making Love" series around a couple whose on-screen partnership has carried a decade-plus of fan devotion, betting that Horne and Page's personal narrative can anchor an ongoing celebrity-romance franchise for the paper.
