A scene in episode one of Aussie Nicole‘s new Netflix drama, which sees a lavish wedding end in a murder, captures the A-Lister’s character Greer Garrison chatting to her long-time editor Enid Collins.

During their phone call natter, Greer is seen on the beach strolling around while Adina Porter’s character is in her office.

Yet the glass-walled surroundings with stunning architectural buildings in the backdrop looked very familiar to subscribers of the streaming service.

They pinpointed the striking scenes as identical to those in real estate reality series, Buying London.

As Greer’s book agent is based in the UK in The Perfect Couple plotline, fans reckon they have it sussed and that Buying London is filmed on a set and not a their real office as the show makes out.

A source close to the Buying London production told The Sun: “A different space was used as the office for Buying London.

“DDRE’s main office is a working space with many other staff who were not featured in the show, so the ‘cast’ conducted their work from the location you see in the show during production.”

Earlier this year, Buying London was dubbed as the UK’s answer to reality series Selling Sunset.

It followed millionaire property mogul Daniel Daggers, the head of DDRE Global and his estate agent team as they try to sell London‘s most expensive homes.

It is a spinoff of the American series Buying Beverly Hills.

Yet we previously reported how fans were quick to switch off, branding it “scripted and boring.”

One viewer took to X, formerly Twitter, and wrote: “Wow, #buyinglondon is worse than I expected. It is so obviously scripted and boring, one episode is more than enough.”

Another unhappy Netflix watched added: “I switched buying London off at the photoshoot in the first episode, insufferable is not a big enough word for these clowns.”

Buying London features a number of notable faces with S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens’ ex-husband Alex Bourne among the cast as well as former Sky Sports beauty Olivia Wayne.
