The three-part series was originally released in 2017 and stars Michelle Keegan as Tina Moore and Lorne MacFadyen as the late football legend Bobby Moore, but it seems fans of the show were pretty distracted during episode one. Taking to social media, plenty were enjoying the plot and story behind the show – which portrays the highs and lows throughout Tina and Bobby's personal and professional life – but many were distracted by Michelle's "stunning" portrayal as Tina.

The drama originally aired in 2017

Bobby and Tina were together at the height of Bobby's fame when he was captain of the England squad and lead them to victory at the World Cup in 1966. The former West Ham player was hailed as a legend in the sport right up until his death in 1993. The show was created from Tina's memoirs, Bobby Moore: By The Person Who Knew Him Best and Tina herself, now 75-years-old, worked as a script consultant. The footballer's widow even met with the cast during production, particularly Michelle, giving her anecdotes and tips on playing her.
