Bronagh Waugh Talks About Jamie

Millions have been glued to BBC’s chiller drama The Fall and watching on the edge of their seats since it returned for a second series three weeks ago.

With actor Jamie Dornan in the role of twisted sex killer Paul and Gillian Anderson as Stella, the policewoman trying to hunt him down, it’s been a creepy ratings winner for BBC2.

Former Hollyoaks actress Bronagh Waugh went back to her native Northern Ireland for filming of the series as Paul’s (now estranged) missus Sally Ann.

The 32-year-old, once a regular on Lark Lane, is now married – on screen at least – to the nation’s scariest man.

So what’s it like cosying up week after week with a serial killer?

“It is a pleasure to work with such a charming and talented actor as Jamie,” Bronagh tells Insider, “although it is hard for me to separate being both a viewer and actor in not being able to unsee the horrific things that my character’s husband has done in the first season so that I can pick up where we left off with Sally-Ann being completely unaware of her husband’s dark secret.”

Alongside his sinister role as Paul, Jamie is about to have another massive profile part in the New Year.

He’s been cast as Christian Grey in the big screen version of the saucy bestselling novel Fifty Shades of Grey, so maybe that puts Bronagh in an enviable position after all ...

“I haven’t read the books (50 Shades),” she laughs, “but of course I’ll watch the film and support Jamie. 

"All of us in The Fall team are so proud of him.”
