SAFE House is a creepy ITV thriller starring Stephen Tom Brook.

THE BBC has finally announced plans to finally tackle the gender pay gap – in the same week a woman blitzed the ratings.

Suranne Jones portrayal of scorned Doctor Foster just goes to show you don’t mess us girls about!

Brilliant Suranne helped pull in 6.3 million viewers for the first episode – that’s more than Bake Off.

The former Corrie star put in the turn of a lifetime playing wronged wife Gemma Foster back in 2015 and rightfully picked up a string of best actress awards along the way.

Her TV tour-de-force performanc­e as a GP with revenge on her mind had fans on the edge of their sofas.

She played chillingly unhinged to perfection, resorting to all sorts of emotional blackmail to get even with her cheating husband Simon (Bertie Carvel).

Who can forget the series one finale with the dinner party from hell where devious Gemma dropped family secrets like bombs on everyone attending.

Round two looks like its going to be an even bloodier battle because Simon has not only moved back to Parminster with second wife Kate and their baby daughter, but they’re shacked up on millionair­e’s row – while poor old Gemma is slaving away in suburbia.

“I left to give you space... hopefully two years is enough,” he explains smugly to his former wife on his return.

“Two years is nothing,” snarled Gemma, who was soon crashing their welcome home party, luring her ex into his new marital bedroom and grabbing him where it hurts. Ouch.

Thrusting

It’s a good job it was on after 9pm because suddenly we were in 9½ Weeks meets Fatal Attraction with language which created more atmosphere than a nuclear bomb going off.

Sex-mad Simon was thrusting his bits at his ex like a hitch hiker thumbing a lift but Gemma drove on by.

The cat-and-mouse games didn’t end there. Simon seems determined to force Gemma out of the neighbourh­ood, telling her: “I was born here, I grew up Cormoran Strike, played by charismati­c former Musketeers and War and Peace the star Tom Burke. Maybe it’s because PC BBC detective iis so refreshing­ly un- or perhaps itit’s that his addiction toto takeaways mmeans you would neverver go hungry aat his place? Whatever the reason, millions of women hahave decided they wouldn’wouldn’t mind sharing a crispypy duduck with him. here, my friends and my work is here. There’s only one way I’m leaving now and that’s in a coffin.”

To which the GP’s response was a short and less than sweet: “Good to know!”

But worse was to come for the doc at the end of the episode as slippery Simon persuaded their teenage son Tom to move in with his new family.

Last time he took his wife’s dignity, this time he wants her son.

One thing is for sure – crazy Gemma isn’t going to take that lying down.

The last scene showed her puffing on a fag in her back garden as she dissolved her wedding ring in a jar of nitric acid.

Forget taking a pair of pinking shears to his boxer shorts, or sewing a kipper into the lining of his curtains, this lady takes revenge to a whole new level. Lorena Bobbitt springs to mind. Simon’s payback second time around is clearly going to be painful one way or another.

Any husbands or boyfriends reading this and considerin­g messing their lady around should watch this show... and think again, chaps.

But a defiant Marion Jefferson (Ann Bell) has other ideas. “There will be work for me here now,” she tells Colonel hubby Clifford. “I am staying.” They don’t make ‘em like that any more. EastEnders. They promised us an explosive week – the trailers were amazing showing what appeared to be the square blowing up – what did we get? A blast that looked like someone had put a nail through a can of hairspray and Phil Mitchel falling into some bin bags. Terrible.
