Marsha Thomason, who plays DS Jenn Townsend, said: "I tell you who saw him and was beside himself was Will Oldfield, who plays one of the children from the family.

"It became a running thing for us because one day he'd seen him and couldn't stop talking about it.

"I'm going to admit I wouldn't know Tyson Fury if I fell on him, I have no idea.

"I know he's a big deal but I don't follow that sport and I live on the other side of the world.

"Will was so so excited and talked about it all day. He was so thrilled."

DI Tony Manning actor Dan Ryan added: "If you have breakfast at the Midland Hotel you will generally see him jogging with his entourage.

"We saw him one day by his personal gym. He had a few photos taken by his open-top Ferrari. I don't know if he likes the show or not."

Andrew Dowbiggin, who portrays the role of DS Jamie "Clarkie" Clarke, continued: "He liked the photos for the first 10 minutes but when there was 50 of us asking for pictures I think it soon wore thin."

Marsha has teased that viewers will see a "different side" to her character Jenn as she returns to the ITV show for a new case.

Morecambe Police’s Family Liaison Officer is working late as usual when an arson attack is reported in the first episode of series four.

She races to the scene to find horror unfolding for a broken family, the Metcalfs.
