Silent Witness’ Emilia Fox isn’t easily fazed by the criminal cases that land on the Lyell Centre slab after spending two decades in Dr. Nikki Alexander’s scrubs - but the BBC star admits that it’s a completely different story when disaster strikes in real life. Emilia, 49, is back for the crime show’s 26th series as forensic pathologist Nikki and despite seeing all sorts of gruesome scenes, she’s “squeamish” when it comes to actual injuries.
“If something bad happens at home and then I’m like, ‘What do I do? I’m really good at this on TV and really bad at it in real life!’” she says. “[My husband] Jonathan dropped a pair of secateurs on his foot the other day and his whole shoe was swimming in blood,” she adds. “And my normal response when a disaster happens is to laugh really nervously - much to his chagrin.
He does not appreciate that I deal with it by getting really bad nervous giggles. “But I plan for disaster, so I’ve got like a medical cupboard, which I think is me in Nikki mode, [that] I’d be able to do something and stitch it together or something,” she says. “He’s absolutely fine now.
If it’s really really serious, I can not laugh.” Emilia is taking on some of Silent Witness’ most “shocking” cases yet in the show’s newest series, with Nikki heading to King’s Cross station when multiple bodies are found buried beneath. “I think one of the hardest ones to do was the King’s Cross episode with eight bodies to find,” she says. “The prosthetics on that episode are quite extraordinary.
