Two actors fell in love and quickly got engaged, leading to a real-life romance between co-stars.

Did you know that the stars of the hit TV show Colin from Accounts, Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, are actually a real-life couple? It's true! Not only did they create the show together, but they also star in it as the main characters, Gordon and Ashley.

Set in Sydney, the show follows the unlikely pairing of these two characters, who are brought together after a hilarious incident involving flashing and a dog named Colin. And while fans have been raving about the second season, which was just released in the UK by the BBC, it's not just viewers who love the show - it has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes as well!

But before they became known as the dynamic duo behind Colin from Accounts, Patrick and Harriet each had successful careers in their own right. They actually met in 2015 while working on another Australian series, No Activity, where Patrick played Detective Hendy and Harriet played April, a young police officer. Two years later, Harriet made the move to the US where Patrick was living, and they've been together ever since.

Patrick's breakthrough role was in the drama series The Alice, and he has since appeared in popular shows like A Moody Christmas, Offspring, and Home and Away. He's also lent his voice to the beloved children's show Bluey. Meanwhile, Harriet's first major role was in the drama series Love Child, and she's also had roles in A Moody Christmas, Packed to the Rafters, and more recently, Wakefield.

In 2021, Patrick proposed to Harriet while they were on vacation in Tampa, Florida, and just five days later, they tied the knot. The couple then welcomed their daughter, Joni Jane Brooklyn Brammall, into their lives five months later through adoption. Although they don't often share photos of their daughter's face on social media, they do post about her often, including sweet moments with her grandparents and birthday celebrations.

When it comes to working together, Harriet has joked that she may have Stockholm syndrome from spending so much time with her partner, but in all seriousness, they've managed to find a balance between their personal and professional lives. They both agree that their relationship comes first, and they've learned to set boundaries to protect it while working together on the show.

Aside from Patrick and Harriet, the show boasts an impressive cast, including Emma Harvie, Helen Thomson, Genevieve Hegney, and Darren Gilshenan, among others. And for those who want to catch up on all the hilarity, both seasons of Colin from Accounts are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

So what's the secret to the show's success? According to Harriet, it's a combination of the Brits being able to laugh at the "rambunctious little Australians" and the show offering something fresh and different. Whatever the reason, it's clear that Colin from Accounts has captured the hearts of audiences both in Australia and abroad.
