Happy Valley fans will know by now what a truly horrific character Tommy Lee Royce is, as the show continues through its third and final season.
The gritty BBC drama returned to our screens at the start of the month, with every episode so far having viewers gripped from start to finish. All eyes are now on Tommy following his escape from prison.
His return to the show, despite being in prison, came after Sergeant Catherine Cawood discovered that her grandson Ryan, and her late daughter's rapist, was visiting his dad behind bars. And in what was another huge blow to Catherine, it transpired it was her sister, Clare, and her partner, Neil, who had facilitated the visits.

But while viewers love to hate Tommy Lee Royce, actor James Norton couldn't be more different to his on-screen persona. James, 37, is loved up with fellow actor Imogen Poots, 33.
Imogen, 33, is a fellow actor who is best known for her roles in 28 Weeks Later, Knights of Cups, Outer Range, I Know This Much Is True and That Awkward Moment. And James recently said he'd love the pair to have children, as reported in the MEN.
He previously admitted his role in 2021 Nowhere Special made him feel broody. The film saw him play a terminally ill father with a young son, which led to James confessing: "It definitely made me broody. I’m 35, I'm in a long-term relationship, my sister has two boys who are under three. The film really made me think about having children."
Back in November 2022, James shared an impassioned post about his type 1 diabetes diagnosis, in a bid to raise awareness for World Diabetes Day. Type 1 diabetes causes the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood to become too high. He branded the condition, which causes the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood to become too high, a "complete b***h" as he called for his Instagram followers to show their support to help find a cure for the disease.
Alongside photos with his two insulin pens and Dexcom sensor, which monitors glucose in the blood, he wrote on the social media platform: "Today is World Diabetes Day. It’s a day to raise awareness about diabetes. But also to simply show some love and support for all the diabetic warriors out there.
"At its best, our condition is a constant faff. At its worst, it’s a complete b***h that can be potentially life-threatening on a daily basis, if it’s not looked after properly. These two insulin pens I’m holding, as well as the @dexcom sensor on my bum, keep me alive every single day."
He added: "You have no idea how valuable these small devices are to us T1s, and how grateful I am to live in a country where we have free access to this type [of] medicine and tech. That said, a cure would be nice. So go visit @jdrf_uk to see how you can get involved. And then go find a diabetic and buy them a Diet Coke."
