Kara Tointon and Hannah Tointon have joined the cast of ITV's Mr Selfridge.

The real-life sisters will play siblings in the third series of the period drama, which starts filming later this week.



Zoe Wanamaker and Waterloo Road's Leon Ockenden have also signed up to appear in the new series.

Mr Selfridge's third series will be set in 1919, just after the conclusion of World War I.

Wanamaker will play Russian Princess Marie de Bolotoff, while Ockenden will play her son Serge, who is set to marry Harry's (Jeremy Piven) eldest daughter Rosalie (Kara Tointon).



Hollyoaks star Hannah Tointon will play Rosalie's rebellious sister Violette. It will be the first time that the Tointon sisters have acted together on screen.

Sacha Parkinson (Coronation Street) will also star as Kitty Hawkins's ambitious younger sister, while Kelly Adams (Bluestone 42) will play Harry's new love interest Nancy Webb.

Mr Selfridge attracted over 4.5 million viewers for its finale episode in late March.
