Silent Witness’ Nikki Alexander and boyfriend Jack Hodgson are all loved up in series 27
Nikki Alexander and boyfriend Jack Hodgson finally shared ‘I love you’ in series 27 episode Death by a Thousand Hits.
The pair first snogged at the end of series 24, however it hasn’t all been smooth-sailing in the romance that followed! Miscommunication issues hampered their early relationship, as Nikki was confronted with her ex, Tom Faulkner.
Nikki and Jack (David Caves) slept together for the first time the in series 25 in History, Part 1, before making it official a few episodes later.
And tonight, viewers could almost heard the distant sound of wedding bells.
Speaking to Radio Times about the changed relationship, Emilia said: “If you’ve worked alongside each other for a decade and they’re both single and they clearly enjoy being together, apart from should they get together because they’re colleagues, what else is in the way?
“The producers wanted to put them together and see what would happen, and then we wanted to caretake them into not just being broken up [and in an on-off relationship], but to retain the flavour which the audience has seemed to have enjoyed, which is that they can still have that fun and they can still have that relationship.”
Tom Faulkner
While we never saw the pair date on screen, Nikki shocked fans in 2022 when she revealed private security agent Tom Faulkner was her ex-husband.
Nikki told Jack that the relationship only lasted a year when she was 20. At one point she was pregnant with Tom’s baby, but suffered a devastating miscarriage.
