Actress Shelley Conn, who recently appeared in ITV's drama Adultery, is married to actor Jonathan Kerrigan, known for roles in Heartbeat and Death in Paradise. The couple tied the knot in 2011 and welcomed their son the following year in 2012.
Career and Recent Appearances
The 50-year-old actress was a guest on James Martin's Saturday Kitchen on November 14 alongside travel writer Dom Joly and chefs Sally Abe and Glynn Purnell. During the show, chef James cooked Thai green curry and Spanish tapas.
Shelley played Hannah Kirkman in the ITV drama, which came to an end earlier this week. She is also known for her roles in Mistresses, Bridgerton, Liar, Gen V, Little Disasters, Party Animals, and Strike Back.
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, with Jonathan playing PC Rob Walker in 72 episodes from 2004 until 2007 and Shelley starring as Millicent Silvano for 10 episodes in 2016.
Jonathan made his screen debut in the music video for The Chemical Brothers' 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.
Private Life and Public Moments
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!"
James Martin's Saturday Kitchen airs weekly on ITV1 and ITVX at 9.30am.
