Midsomer Murder stars and their real families explored

Nick's wife is also a TV star – and she even appeared on an episode of Midsomer Murders! The 39-year-old is married to actress Jessica Ellerby, who viewers may know from her roles in the Netflix sitcom LovesicknessITV comedy Benidormand the superhero series, Pennyworth.

Jessica played a guest role Midsomer Murders in 2021 when she played her husband's ex-girlfriend Caitlin on screen.

On welcoming his wife to the show, Nick previously said: “I've wanted her to be there for some time But obviously it's not the nepotism that people think of just saying, “I demand my wife be on the show,” because that's not how it works and our casting director has far more integrity. A role came along that suited her.

He praised Jessica's performance and said: “It sounds sentimental but I was very proud of her, it was nice to see.”

“Everyone thought she was brilliant, and she was brilliant. The scenes I have seen show that she is quite wonderful and much better than me, which is quite annoying,” he added jokingly.
