Where have I seen Royce Pierreson before?

Anyone who saw BBC3's haunting drama Murdered by My Boyfriend will remember Royce Pierreson's face. In it, he gave a searing – and terrifying – performance as abusive boyfriend Reece opposite Georgina Campbell's tragic Ashley. Since then he's popped up in Death in Paradise and The Living and the Dead and was seen playing Michelle Keegan's loyal and lovely boyfriend in BBC1 drama Our Girl last year.

Maneet was a new recruit to the AC-12 team for series three and played a role in uncovering the web of lies spun by Dot Cottan. In many ways the unsung hero of the unit, she's back for another investigation into a potentially bent copper.
