Cole had cameos in Holby City, The Bill, and teen comedy Skins before landing the Peaky Blinders gig in 2013, and although he starred in the popular programme for three seasons, he still doesn’t regret walking away from it five years later.

In the opening episode of the sixth and final series, which aired on Sunday 27 February, the show tackled Helen’s absence, following her sad passing last April. And it was an emotional watch for fans when the instalment, which was titled Black Day, saw Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) discover the devastating news that his Aunt Polly had been killed.

The highly-anticipated Season 6 premiere of period gangster epic Peaky Blinders was watched by 3.8 million viewers in the UK on Sunday, according to overnight figures.

It also ties the series record previously set by the Season 5 finale in September 2019. The market share was 21.8% on Sunday with a peak of 4.1 million viewers. The episode faced strong competition from the season finale of ITV drama Trigger Point which ended up winning the 9pm slot.
