The wild success of Heated Rivalry means that the stars of the hit show have gone from being relative unknowns to superstars overnight.
The show’s popularity means the cast is extremely booked and busy. The leading men are attending the Oscars, walking the red carpet at star-studded events, and appearing in countless sexy photoshoots, so it's safe to say they're in high demand with casting agents everywhere.

From royal intrigue and meddling mamas to ever-watching eyes and salacious gossip, the folks at Mayfair have a lot more than marriage to think about — and we love it.
