Kerry Howard plays Laura

Laura is Becky's 21-year-old sister and adores Becky. She's more fragile and romantic than Becky and more prone to tears.

She's unhappy with her fiancé, Paul, but enjoys the glamour she thinks he gives her – he can get her into clubs because he knows people and she finds him funny.

Their relationship lacks the honesty of Steve and Becky's, however, and Laura finds Steve odd and doesn't know why Becky's with him.

Kerry was last seen in her role as Vicky in Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One's remake of Reggie Perrin. Other TV credits include Girl Friday for Channel 4 and The Persuasionists for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Two.

Kerry has also worked on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio, with The Ladies for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 and The Russell Howard Show for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 6.

Joe Wilkinson plays Dan

Dan lives above Steve. He's in his late-twenties and going through a bit of a crisis. He's unemployed, lonely and needy – he often knocks on Steve's door just for a chat when all Steve wants is to be alone with Becky.

But Steve can't be mean to him because he knows Dan's troubled. Throughout the series, Dan is looking for love, getting over his ex-girlfriend, Anita, and going through a series of self-improvements in the hope that one day a girl will fall for him.

Since embarking on his stand-up career in 2004, Joe has been named Hackney Empire New Act of the Year in 2006, and a runner-up in So You Think You're Funny in 2005.

In 2008, he took his own show up to the Edinburgh Festival entitled Two Episodes Of Mash Presents Joe Wilkinson And Diane Morgan, directed by Stefan Golaszewski.

The pair gained great critical acclaim and a four-star review from The Sunday Times.

Joe is also a co-writer for Lee Nelson's Well Good Show. Him & Her is Joe's debut appearance as a TV comedy actor.

Ricky Champ plays Paul

Paul is in his late-twenties and is engaged to Laura. He's a lads' lad – nothing like Steve. He's amoral and easily violent when the mood takes him. He's happy to sleep around, too.

Ricky has already had a promising career in British film and television with roles in Driving Lessons, Hotel Very Welcome with Chris O'Dowd, Doc Martin and, most recently, as Lucianus in the recently televised version of Hamlet, starring David Tennant.
