In the teaser, the actress, who plays Debbie Fendon, tells her son Harry, played by Craig Roberts: “We're just a bit complicated, like the Beckhams.”

Set in the West Country, Can You Keep A Secret? also stars Mark Heap - known for playing Jim Bell in sitcom Friday Night Dinner - whose character William is mistakenly declared dead.

Sensing a golden opportunity, Debbie pretends to be a widow, with the retired couple agreeing to hide away until the life insurance pays out.
