And leading actress Joanne Froggatt, 38, appeared in good spirits as her character Laura Nielson returned to the scene of Andrew's death on set in Tollesbury, Essex, on Tuesday.

Joanne's character will no doubt be returning to her kayaking after her watersports activity was heavily featured in the first series.
However, her kayak hobby could make things a bit awkward in the second series after her rapist Andrew's murdered body was found in the marshes nearby while a police investigation is in full swing to find out who the culprit is.
