Inside Red Eye star Lesley Sharp's life off screen: Actress was adopted as a baby, had a bizarre brush with the police and close friendship with the late actress Helen McCrory
As ITV's brand new thriller series Red Eye kicks off tonight, Lesley Sharp plays the role of Director General of MI5, Madeline Delaney.
The BAFTA-nominated has also played villain Rosalind Hale in the Netflix series Fate: The Winx Saga, and starred often alongside Hollywood A-listers including Vera Drake with Imelda Staunton and Helen Mirren in Prime Suspect. Now the actress returns in a bombshell role for the nail-biting six-part crime show, where she joins leading stars Richard Armitage (Fool Me Once) and Jing Lusi (Crazy Rich Asians).
