The actor portrays DI Hillinghead, a by-the-book detective inspector who comes across the mysterious case in 1890. Whilst Kyle is a familiar face to viewers thanks to his various on-screen roles, including in Poldark, Andor, and Anna Karenina, did you know that his wife is also an actress?

How did Kyle Soller meet his wife?

Kyle and Phoebe met whilst studying at RADA in London, and went on to tie the knot in 2010.

Phoebe opened up about her marriage during an interview with Glamour last year. Explaining how the pair have supported each other through their careers, she said: "We have a sort of… twin flame quality. Our careers have followed a very similar trajectory and we always seem to be doing the same step up at the same time.

"Like when I did View From The Bridge, that part was a game changer for me. And then he did a play called The Inheritance only a couple of years later. And now he's in a big American series [Andor], and I'm in this big American series. We've always had this wonderful element of being able to support each other, without any kind of competitive energy.

"I mean, he's also my best friend. So he's very proud," she added.
