ITV Grace's John Simm says he has 'PTSD' after filming gruelling scene for new series


John Simm is back as DS Roy Grace in the fifth series of the ITV crime drama, which sees the detective face a bomb threat and a harrowing rescue mission beneath Brighton Pier.

The fifth season of Grace saw John Simm have a dark day at work, as the actor faced the sharp chill of the sea while filming under Brighton Pier in a full suit for the series. Roy's danger-dodging doesn't end there; he soon embarks on a perilous salvation mission beneath Brighton Pier, racing against the tides to rescue a businessman's abducted son. The character experienced the joy of pregnancy with DS Roy Grace's child at the climax of the previous season, only to be engulfed by despair due to a subsequent miscarriage as the latest series kicks off.
