ITV No Return: Sheridan Smith's TV husband is married to a Welsh actress in real life

Sheridan Smith's on-screen husband in ITV's No Return is a familiar face with TV, film and theatre fans.

Michael Jibson, who plays Martin in the ITV four-parter, is an Olivier award-winning actor, scooping Best Supporting Actor in a Musical for his performance as King George III in Lin Manuel Miranda's Hamilton.

He also played Tecwen Whittock in the dramatisation of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire cheating scandal, Quiz, and starred opposite Sheridan Smith again in BBC's Four Lives earlier this year.

In real life he happens to have a Welsh wife who's also had a successful acting career - Caroline Sheen.

The couple have been together for almost 20 years and share a daughter, Flora, and Caroline is the cousin of, you guessed it, Michael Sheen - who starred in Quiz with her husband.

From Caerleon, Caroline has had a stunning stage career, including a critically-acclaimed West End run as Fantine in Les Miserables and that came after she spent a year touring the States as flying nanny Mary Poppins, winning her the Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding Lead Actress.

Caroline, along with Michael, also appeared in the big-screen version of Les Misérables as an Ensemble Factory Woman, and she's also had film roles in Nativity Rocks and Four Kids and It. Recently she's been seen in Silent Witness and Pitching In with Larry Lamb.

No Return is airing weekly on Mondays in February at 9pm, but also all the episodes will be available on the ITV Hub after episode one on February 7.
