Hannah Waddingham, a well-known actress today, made her acting debut in the popular British sitcom Coupling. Before joining the cast of Apple TV's Ted Lasso and appearing as a villain on Game of Thrones, Waddingham played a lap dancer named Jenny Turbot in an episode of Coupling, which aired on BBC Two and BBC Three from 2000 to 2004.
Her scene, titled "Split" and depicted in the Season 3 premiere, showed her spending time with the lead character Steve, played by Jack Davenport, and his friends at a strip club. Steve's friends recognize her from their school days, leading to a humorous moment that showcased Waddingham's talent. Although Coupling may not have instantly set her career ablaze, it was critically acclaimed, and the show went on to win several awards, including best TV comedy at the 2003 British Comedy Awards.
