Others were left questioning how much longer they have to wait until the show hits screens as a release date for the series has not yet been announced. "Absolutely can't wait for this, I adored the book! Do we know when it's on???" one asked while another echoed this, writing:"  'Coming soon' I need DATES. I need to clear my calendar!"

The seven-part series will be directed by Harlots director China Moo-Young and is loosely based on Dolly's 2018 memoir, which chronicled her experiences of growing up, falling in love and navigating her twenties with her best friends.

The synopsis for the show reads: "Set in a 2012 London house-share with flashbacks to suburban adolescence in the early noughties, the series is an unflinching deep dive into bad dates, heartaches and humiliations and begs the question: can platonic love survive romantic love as we grow up?"
