So it turns out Broadchurch star Olivia Colman knew who Danny Latimer’s ‘killer’ was all along, despite it being one of TV’s best kept secrets.

Olivia and her Broadchurch co-star David Tennant both appear on The Graham Norton Show tonight and while neither of them are prepared to give anything away with regard to the series two, currently airing on ITV, Olivia teased that she had been in on the secret last time around.

Only a handful of people knew where the plot was headed in series one and we were ALL led to believe that the entire cast was left in the dark until the final hour just like the rest of us.



However, it turns out sneaky Olivia Colman knew all along, much to David’s annoyance.

She explained: ‘I asked at my first audition and they told me and then they called me an hour later and said, “We’re not going to do it that way, no body is going to know so you’re not allowed to know.” So I kept the secret.’

To which David chipped in: ‘About half way through series one I was talking to my agent about something and she said, “So no one knows?” and I said, “No, absolutely no body knows” and she said, “So it’s just Olivia that knows?” I was like, “Olivia doesn’t know, we’ve spent weeks together, we’ve discussed who it might be and we’ve taken bets on who the killer is.” She kept that secret brilliantly for months.’

‘He was so angry when he found out I knew!’ Olivia interjected.

The Graham Norton Show airs tonight at 10.35pm on BBC One. Harvey Weinstein and Jessie J are also on the show.
