For your pies only

Keeley Hawes bonded with co-star Emma Appleton over baking on the set of new Channel 4 spy drama Traitors.

Keeley, 43, says: “We formed a close bond and had lots of cake on set and laughter. We had lots of cake in a tea room scene, a whole Madeira cake. I turned up and just ate cake.”

Both actresses play civil servants, although 27-year-old Emma’s character spies on her own government for the Americans. It’s well worth a watch when it starts on Sunday.
