Shelley Conn, known for roles in Bridgerton and Adultery, is married to actor Jonathan Kerrigan. The couple, who wed in 2011, appeared together in a 2019 episode of the BBC detective drama Death in Paradise.
Marriage and Early Career
The 50-year-old actress, who played Hannah Kirkman in the ITV drama Adultery, has been in the public eye for over a decade. She is also known for roles in Mistresses, Liar, Gen V, Little Disasters, Party Animals and Strike Back. Shelley shot to fame in 2000 with a role in the movie The Last Musketeer, and in 2011 she was reportedly handpicked by Steven Spielberg for a lead role in TV series Terra Nova. She was cast in 10 episodes of American TV series The Lottery in 2014.
Shelley married Jonathan Kerrigan in 2011, and the couple welcomed their son the following year in 2012. Like her husband, Shelley has acted in Merseybeat and Casualty, but this was long before the couple got wed.
On-Screen Partnership
Fans may not know that Jonathan and Shelley played a married couple on-screen in an episode of BBC detective drama Death in Paradise in 2019 titled Murder Most Animal. They also both appeared in ITV's Heartbeat, but not at the same time. Jonathan played PC Rob Walker in 72 episodes from 2004 until 2007, while Shelley starred as Millicent Silvano for 10 episodes in 2016.
Jonathan made his screen debut in the music video for The Chemical Brothers's 1995 song, Life Is Sweet, and his first television appearance was in a 1995 episode of the BBC teen drama, Byker Grove. He is also known for acting roles in TV series such as Holby City, Peak Practice, and The Club, and works as a composer who created the theme music for BBC One's Merseybeat.
Public Appearances
Despite being public figures, they have generally kept their marriage private and low-profile, but Jonathan has previously shared a snap of him and Shelley posing together at the premiere of Wonka back in 2023. Fans quickly rushed to leave a message for the couple in the comment section, with one fan writing: "Oh, how I miss you guys." Another added: "Gorgeous darling!"
Shelley is a guest on James Martin's Saturday Kitchen on November 14 alongside travel writer Dom Joly and chefs Sally Abe and Glynn Purnell. James Martin's Saturday Kitchen airs weekly on ITV1 and ITVX at 9.30am.
