Heartthrob actor Kenny Doughty, best known for his role as DS Aiden Healy in Vera, has finally unveiled his new project that he's been working on since his departure from the TV drama - as well as revealing his exciting new co-star.
The actor had replaced David Leon in season five and quickly became a firm favourite among viewers with his charm and natural acting abilities.
However, his sudden exit took fans and show lead Brenda Blethyn by surprise. Since his departure from Vera last December, Doughty had largely kept a low profile while hinting at an upcoming role.
Now, the star has revealed his exciting new collaboration - a TV drama featuring Death in Paradise and Beyond Paradise star Sally Bretton, the Express reports.
On social media platform X, Doughty shared an ITV poster announcing the cast of the new drama, simply captioning it "Yep."
ITV also posted the announcement, stating: "Secrets are revealed when a family decides to hire extra help... Sir @David_Suchet, Sally Bretton, and @kennydoughty join the new compelling drama, 'The Au Pair', coming soon to @channel5_tv.
"A @MediaPernel and MK1 Studios co-production. Produced in association with ITV Studios."
