DERRY Girls and Traitors star Siobhan McSweeney has landed an intriguing new role - playing an American Trump fanatic in a BBC thriller.

Nine Bodies In A Mexican Morgue, written by Foyle's War creator Anthony Horowitz, features nine characters who survive a plane crash in the Mexican jungle.

But they begin to die one after another in strange and violent ways and realise there is a murderer among them. Amid flashbacks, viewers see the survivors as they battle to stay alive against heat, a lack of supplies - and each other.
