It wasn’t easy but we got through it and Doug was brilliant.” The Fool Me Once actress stars as tough detective Emma Crane in new ITV thriller The Blame, which is an unflinching look at misogyny within the police as she tries to catch the killer of a schoolgirl. The murder inquiry spirals into a tangled web of lies, institutional cover-ups as she discovers the men she calls her colleagues might be involved. Michelle said she was determined to make sure she did justice to real-life officers, so would grill her dad Michael, who joined the force as a teenager and rose to the rank of Inspector. She said on the daytime programme: “He taught me about ranking. But my dad was always really private about his job. “Even now I ask him about stories and he doesn’t tell me. He takes his job very seriously.” Dermot joked: “It must have been a nightmare as a teenager, you can’t get away with anything.” The mum-of-one divulged: “Couldn’t get away with anything. My dad knew everything, everything! It was so annoying.” Comment now
