Speaking on the ITV morning show, Kellie explained: “I mean I would be surprised if it was me [who murdered him].

“The great thing about this is that the audience are in on this secret before we are because it's a flash forward. So, we as characters, we have no idea what's coming.”

She went on to add: “I'm sort of feeling like it might be maybe a group thing."
