Last Tango star puts her foot in it

More used to sporting trainers and wellies, Last Tango In Halifax star Nicola Walker reveals that she had little control of the high heels which she had to wear playing a glamorous legal eagle in new BBC1 drama The Split.

She regularly disrupted filming when she inadvertently sent her shoes flying through the air. The actress, 47, who plays divorce lawyer Hannah in the new series, explains; ‘I made an astonishing discovery that when I’m put in high heels, I have an ability to clip the back of my heels and send a beautiful high shoe flying into the air.

‘There are so many outtakes of Jess the director shouting “Cut! Her shoe’s come off again . . .” ’
