Who needs the Caribbean? Holliday, Harry and their twins chill out on a Devon beach

- By Jane Wharton

FOR many A-listers, a January break would involve travelling to the Caribbean for sea, sand – and a lot of sun.

But Holliday Grainger and Harry Treadaway seemed no less happy during their own family trip to the beach last week – albeit a windswept, freezing one.

The low-key couple enjoyed a bracing walk at Hope Cove in Devon with their young twins, pausing only to pick up a warm drink at a café, before ambling around the old fishing village.

The family wrapped up against the elements, with Holliday and one of her children wearing matching burgundy woollen hats.

The 33-year-old star of TV hits Strike and The Capture once said that ‘the thought of being recognised in the street is petrifying’ and she and Harry, 37, stay out of the limelight.

They don’t use social media, rarely speak about their six-year-long relationsh­ip and have not released any details about their twins, who are believed to have been born last spring.

An onlooker said: ‘They were a very happy family enjoying a morning on an almost empty beach. Both were talking to the children, who were giggling in return.

‘The twins appeared to be a boy and a girl and at one point it looked like they were playing some kind of tag game – girls against boys. Despite the parents’ fame, no one took a blind bit of notice of them.’

The trip comes days before Holliday is due to start filming Troubled Blood, the fifth novel of JK Rowling’s Cormoran Strike series. The couple will also soon appear together in the film Halo of Stars, based on a Anthony

Lucero’s poem The Clown.
