Hollywood star.The gritty ITV drama boasts a star-studded cast including Benidorm actress Sheridan Smith and Sherlock star Sian Brooke.However, when the gritty ITV drama returned to screens on Monday night (February 14), some fans were distracted by the show's young lead actor - Louis Ashbourne Serkis.That's because they realised he is the son of Lord of the Rings actor Andy Serkis, who famously played Gollum in the Oscar-winning fantasy trilogy directed by Peter Jackson.Louis plays Sheridan's on-screen son Noah in the crime series which is set in Turkey - which follows a family holiday that takes a horrible turn.Sixteen-year-old Noah gets locked up in prison on suspicion of sexually assaulting another boy - and he faces a 12-year prison sentence.Sheridan's Kathy is Noah's worried mum who is desperate to prove authorities that her teen son is innocent.When the drama returned on Monday, it saw a heartbroken Kathy visit her son Noah in prison - but things were looking hopeless for her boy until a potential witness turned up at her door, claiming she could help Noah.Eagle-eyed fans appeared to be more interested in Louis and his dad, though, and they flocked to Twitter to chat about it.One fan wrote: "Is the lad played by the son of Andy Serkis? Looks very much like him #noreturn".A second replied: "Yes he is! Thought the same myself."A third replied to the thread with a thumbs-up emoji.Another wanted to praise Louis' acting - and felt like he was going to follow in his parents' footsteps.That's because Louis' mum Lorraine Ashbourne is a well-renowned actress in her own right, having starred in TV shows like The Street, Casualty and Thin Ice.She's also appeared on the theatre circuit - starring in Othello alongside her

Fallon Sherrock was ‘not as close as people think’ to securing a Premier League spot.The PDC Premier League Darts kicked off earlier this month, as eight of the world’s best players battle it out for one of the biggest prizes in darts.Prior to the lineup being announced, many had tipped Sherrock to become the first female player to compete in the event, as she continues to make a name for herself in the men’s game.Arguably Sherrock’s most impressive performance on the men’s tour came late last year, as she saw off Mike de Decker, Gabriel Clemens and Mensur Suljovic on the way to a quarter-final finish at the Grand Slam of Darts.This again led to many arguing the Queen of the Palace’s case to earn a Premier League spot, however Porter has since played down Sherrock’s initial chances.When asked how close the 27-year-old was to making the 17-night event, he told Online Darts TV: “Not as close as people think.”The announcement of the lineup for the 2022 lineup was delayed this year, and many thought the wait was down to seeing if Sherrock was able to secure a tour card.However when she failed at Q-school, Porter admitted this wiped her Premier League chances away.He continued: “Obviously when she didn’t win a tour card it made it not a question, because we don’t have non-tour card holders in the Premier League.Do you think Sherrock deserved a Premier League place? Let us know in the comments section.“People used to say ‘why don’t you put the BDO champion in, why don’t you put Phil [Taylor] in after he retired’ things like that. We’ve got tour cards for a reason.
