Missing You actress starred on I'm a Celebrity five years ago during Covid times
Missing You is the brand new Harlan Coben series to take Netflix by storm, providing perfect New Year drama but whilst the hit series features a stellar main cast, it's one of the side characters who is actually more well known that viewers might first realise.
Jessica Plummer, who plays honeytrap Stacey, in the show not only starred as a lead role in Eastenders playing Chantelle Atkins but she also took part in the 20th series of ITV hit show I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! in 2005, during Covid times. That year the series was filmed at Gwrych Castle in Wales due to Covid restrictions and Jessica was the sixth contestant to leave, losing out to singer Russell Watson who she was in the bottom two with. Fans will remember Jessica drinking horrific liquids in The Sickening Stalls Bushtucker Trial alongside fellow Eastenders star Shame Richie, and fumbling in the dark during the Harm-ory Trial with former Strictly professional dancer AJ Pritchard.
London-born Jessica, 33, is a mum to daughter Noa Lily Hutchins, 9, who she shares with ex-boyfriend Jaz, and currently plays the lead role's best friend in Missing You. The stunning actress left Eastenders to take on a huge BBC role in drama The Girl Before, following in the footsteps of similar actresses like Michelle Keegan and Jenna Coleman, and now she has landed her biggest and most popular role to date, with a surge in interest in private investigators across the UK, since her character's role.

Senior Investigator John Eastham of Private Investigations UK reports that website traffic to the agency has increased by 65% since the thriller’s debut on the streaming platform.
Missing You, which delves into secrets, betrayals, and hidden lives, stars Rosalind Eleazar as main character DCI Kat Donovan, who fights for justice after her police officer dad was murdered and her loving fiance, Josh Buchanan, played by Top Boy's Ashley Walters, left her mysteriously. In true classic Harlan Coben style, the series comes with plenty of twists, leaving fans guessing until the very end.
