Peep Show's Big Suze became even posher when she became a member of the royal family in 2009, but she actually managed to hide it from the whole of Hollywood.

Sophie Winkleman, who played Jez's on-off love interest in the acclaimed British comedy, also goes by the name of Lady Frederick Windsor, when she married the son of Queen Elizabeth II's first cousin Prince Michael.

The 40-year-old also starred in Two and a Half Men in 2011, alongside Ashton Kutcher, and she had headed out for LA just after marrying in 2009.

She explained how she kept her identity a secret the whole time.

Speaking to Insider, she said: "People in my business in America didn't know anything about it, because they'd just see 'Sophie Winkleman' on the sheet and I'd go and do the audition and then get the job or not.

"And they didn't find anything out about me. They just knew me from my acting, which was quite important to me."

But although she was living it up in Hollywood she moved back to London in 2013 to be closer to family.

Speaking about the royals, she said: "I can only speak from personal experience, but when I first went to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen for the Christmas lunch, she was incredibly welcoming and kind.

"I've only had positive, caring, warmth from all of them."

If you're a Peep Show fan, you might be in luck, if words from the creators of the show are anything to go by - but you might have a wait on your hands.

David Mitchell and Robert Webb recently revealed they're keen to do more Peep Show, but only when they're 'really old'.

The second seires of the duo's acclaimed comedy Back came out in January, and they have said they still haven't closed the door on reviving Mark and Jez.

Speaking to LADbible, they said it was always the plan to do more, but they want to wait until they're in their 60s.

"What we always say is that if David and I are blessed to be in good health in our 60s or whenever, to come back and do another series where Mark and Jeremy are having exactly the same conversations in exactly the same flat, but are moving into their older age, would be funny," Robert told us.

"I'm assuming it would be funny, maybe it would be unbelievably depressing."

David said: "The way we have it in mind - though the need to work may intervene, who knows, we may be pitching it in six months time - was not to do it when they were middle-aged but when they were old.

"So literally at least 20 years after the show finished, not seven."
