Fay Ripley hasn’t been on TV for two years, so you’d think she’d want her husband to watch her in new drama Finders Keepers – but she doesn’t!
The actress was last on our screens in 2022, when she popped up as a guest star in Doc Martin. But this week, she makes a welcome return as Anne Stone in Channel 5 drama Finders Keepers.
The former Cold Feet star, 57, plays the wife of Neil Morrissey’s character Martin. He’s a bit of a nerd, who loves nothing more than going off with his metal detector looking for buried treasure.
So he’s thrilled when he actually finds something – something actually really significant. But should he hand it over as the law expects, or keep it for himself and get rich?
That’s the moral dilemma at the heart of the show – and Fay’s character Anne is central to the plot. So why on earth doesn’t she want her husband to watch?
Fay Ripley plays Anne Stone in Finders Keepers
Actress Fay Ripley has revealed that she doesn’t want her husband to watch Finders Keepers… But it might not be for the reason you’d think!
No, there are no sex scenes. And she barely kisses her on-screen husband Neil Morrissey on the lips.
Instead, she’s worried the four-parter might give him other ideas!
Appearing on The One Show this week, Fay told hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas: “I’m not going to allow my husband to watch the show… He’s got his eye on a metal detector. Every Christmas I get the wish list and there’s only one thing on it.
“Every year I push it away and go ‘no! no!’ Because we have a lovely marriage, and I want that to continue! I don’t want him going into a field!”
Who is Fay Ripley’s husband?
Fay Ripley is married to fellow actor Daniel Lapaine. The pair were introduced at a party hosted by mutual friends, but nothing happened for a while.
