THE MADAME BLANC MYSTERIES
CHRISTMAS EVE, 9.15PM, CHANNEL 5 DRAMA

There’s plenty of festive cheer in this year’s yuletide edition of The Madame Blanc Mysteries now that Jean White and Dom Hayes are officially a couple!

After admitting their true feelings for each other at the end of the third series of Channel 5’s cosy crime drama, antiques expert and part-time sleuth Jean (played by Sally Lindsay) and taxi driver Dom (Steve Edge) are still giddily in love as they prepare to celebrate Christmas. However, they aren’t ready yet for their romance to become public…

‘Dom and Jean have decided to keep it a secret,’ says Sally, 51, as she and Steve join TV Times for an exclusive chat. ‘Apart from them, only the audience is in on it. They’re running around like they are having an affair but they’re not!’
