DENIS Lawson is the latest big-name star to join the cast of telly’s top period drama.

Fans will see the Scottish actor in the new series as the Duke of Atholl.

Denis is famed for serious roles in hit shows including Bleak House and New Tricks.

Other stars joining Victoria for its second series include Dame Diana Rigg and Martin Compston.

Filming for Denis’s scenes are due to take place at Blair Castle in Perthshire, Scotland.

It is expected to return in the autumn on ITV. EVE Morey announced that she’s pregnant with her second child yesterday – on live TV.

The actress, who plays Sonya Mitchell, was on the panel on Channel 5’s The Wright Stuff.

She said: “Everyone at work knows but we realised yesterday that no-one outside of work knows.”

BOSSES have axed one of the BBC’s most high-profile dramas.

Ordinary Lies is being ditched after just two series, we can reveal. The gripping programme starred some of the biggest names on TV and was given the plum 9pm slot. But Red Production Company, which made the show, last night confirmed: “There are no current plans for a third series at this stage.” Ordinary Lies launched to a big fanfare in 2015 with a cast including Jason Manford and Max Beesley. And it also secured Michelle Keegan in her first major role after leaving Corrie. The show was a massive hit with ratings peaking at seven million viewers and it was nominated for Most Popular New Drama at the NTAs. The second series boasted household names, including Angela Griffin and Matt Di Angelo. But by the finale just 4.1million fans were tuning in.

The show, penned by Danny Brocklehur­st, followed a different character each episode with them telling a lie that caused chaos.

The wackiest storyline saw Marty, played by Jason, pretend his wife was dead.

Other BBC dramas pulling in bumper ratings include War And Peace, Line Of Duty, Happy Valley and Sherlock. Viburnum 'Kilimanjar­o’ is a hardy shrub.
