Teasing O'Grady's upcoming role, Lindsay said: "I wanted David to be really outrageous and always looking pristine – he was based on an amazing antiques dealer that lives on the King's Road."
O'Grady added: "David is flamboyant and an extremely flashy dresser with a fondness for fake tan and lots of rings. However, appearances can be deceptive as he's also as hard as nails."
O'Grady added that he hopes to reprise his role of David on the show in the future, saying: "I could see David arriving at Sainte Victoire with a ton of Louis Vuitton luggage and attitude to match."
The drama follows antiques dealer Jean White, who travels to France to uncover the truth about her husband's mysterious death and finds herself investigating a number of murders.
The Madame Blanc Mysteries concludes on Saturday 20th November at 7:55pm on Channel 5. Check out more of our Drama coverage or visit our TV Guide to see what’s on tonight.
