Missing You's other stars include Richard Armitage, Lenny Henry , Marc Warren and Lisa Faulkner .

Speaking to press ahead of the show's debut, Fool Me Once actor Richard revealed his approach to playing Sergeant Ellis Stagger. He said: "You sort of just play it for the moment and you trust the creative team above you to you know, you don't question. "You just play the suspense for the twist and the thrills.

"But I've never played a police detective before. It was nice to take on a character that had that authority." In addition to GK, fellow I'm A Celeb alums Jessica Plummer and Matt Willis are also among the cast.
