You're the love of Esther's life. You just don't know it yet... Esther first sees Ted walking in a park in London.
They lock eyes and for a fraction of a second, she feels something she's never felt before. She starts by reading up about his life in Canada and his work as an actor. Then she watches every interview with him online. It isn't long before she's joined Ted's fan site online where her and the 'Tedettes' stalk his every move.
