French plays passionate cook Gina whose ex-husband Leo (Iain Glen) is a successful entrepreneur, chef and hotel owner in Cornwall. Leo owes much of his success to Gina’s cooking, and yet despite leaving her for another woman – the glamourous Sam, played by Silent Witness’ Emilia Fox –business continues to boom for the hotel owner.

Leo’s new wife Sam becomes concerned that he is cheating on her. She confides in Gina, confident that she will recognise the signs, however Sam later finds out that the ‘other woman’ is Gina herself.

Secrets and scandals abound in this four-part Cornish drama, proving that sleeping with someone else’s husband is never a good idea – even if he was your husband first.

As Sam and Gina try to fix their shattered families, will a friend be formed between the two women scorned, or will that tear each other apart?

Sheila Hancock joins the cast as Leo’s mother Mimi, and newcomers Ruairi O'Connor and Tanya Reynolds star as Leo and Sam’s son Michael and Leo and Gina’s daughter Teresa.

The series comes from Mr Selfridge and Secret Diary of a Call Girl writer Dan Sefton and launches on Sky 1 in December 2016.
