Lesley Sharp stars as the boss of MI5 in new ITV thriller Red Eye – OK! looks at her private life, including a bizarre brush with the police and how adoption affected her
Lesley Sharp is set to star as the director of MI5 in ITV's twisty new thriller Red Eye, where her character Madeline Delaney has to navigate an international tug-of-war over a British surgeon.
Lesley, 64, is known for her roles in the likes of Scott & Bailey, The Full Monty and Vera Drake - but here's what we know about her life off screen. But she said of her mum: "I wish I’d known her, really! You know when you get asked those questions: who would you have had at your fantasy dinner party? Definitely, my mum.”
Lesley and her husband Nicholas Gleaves have two sons together, bt despite being so recognisable on screen she says she can go incognito fairly easily in public. Lesley told The Guardian: "When I lived in a flat in Herne Hill, London, I saw a body hanging over the landing of the flat above and thought someone had taken their own life, so I called the police. They found a wetsuit that someone had hung up to dry."
I’ve actually swum in the Thames, near Lechlade, because I do like wild-water swimming. And being able to swim in the sea as part of a holiday, to me, is vital."
