Silent Witness Star's Forgotten Role in Free Period Drama

Francesca Mills, who joined Silent Witness as crime analyst Kit Brooks earlier this year, previously starred in the period drama Harlots, now available to watch for free on U.

The 29-year-old actress played Cherry Dorrington, a sex worker, in the 18th-century London-set series about brothel owner Margaret Wells and her family.

Harlots aired from 2017 to 2019 across three series and has been praised by viewers for its acting and writing. One fan described it as 'brilliant' and 'well-written'.
