Meet the cast of ITV drama The Suspect

And this week's episode will see him go to great lengths to try and prove his innocence – putting him at risk of looking even more guilty in the process.

The Poldark star took part in an exclusive Radio Times photoshoot ahead of the drama, which has been a compelling watch so far – with Turner appearing in a "terrifying" tower block stunt in the first episode.

Here's everything you need to know about the stellar cast of The Suspect.

When he meets DS Devi, he's happy to help with profiling on the murder of a young woman – however, those around him begin to suspect that he may have something to hide.
