When is season four airing?

ITV has yet to make an announcement confirming the fourth season.

It is very likely that the channel will commission yet another series, but an official statement has not been made just yet.

An official release date could be set for March -- the same month that Victoria kicked off its third series this year.

It’s predicted that, unless the show was to conclude next year, season four won’t consist of more than 10 episodes.

Is she dating Tom Hughes?

Rumours started swirling last year that Jenna and Tom had started dating off camera and had kept their relationship a secret for a year.

It's believed Tom broke up with his long-term girlfriend to be with Jenna, who he first met at BBC2's Dancing On The Edge four years ago.

It is believed the real-life couple will have multiple sex scenes in the upcoming series but Jenna says their important to the story.

She told Radio Times: "I think sex was a huge part of their relationship.
