Meet the cast of Channel 5 thriller Lie With Me
Charlie Brooks and Brett Tucker lead the cast of this four-part thriller.
Channel 5 thriller Lie With Me is a bit of a showcase for Australian talent, with Phoebe Roberts and Brett Tucker taking two of the three lead roles, backed by plenty more supporting cast from the country.
There is, however, one familiar English face completing the main trio: Charlie Brooks. The EastEnders actress stars as Anna Fallmont, a woman who is convinced her husband is a cheater – and, even though they've moved to Australia and decided to put the past behind them, things are not so easy.
Here are the actors who feature in the drama, and the characters they play.
Charlie Brooks plays Anna Fallmont
Who is Anna Fallmont? Englishwoman Anna and her Australian husband Jake have recently relocated from England to Australia, along with their young daughter and baby son. Anna is convinced that her husband was cheating on her back in the UK, so this international move appears to offer them both a fresh start. She's got a new job at a design agency, so they've hired an au pair to look after the kids.
What else has Charlie Brooks been in? The actress is best known for playing Janine Butcher in EastEnders. She's also been in dramas including Wired, Bleak House, and Moving On – and competed in entertainment shows including the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special and I'm A Celebrity. On the stage, she starred in All in a Row.
