TALK OF THE TOWN: Silent Witness star Emilia Fox smiles next to a steaming mug of tea as she enjoys the most successful period of her career

If, like me, you think life must be grim for Emilia Fox – she has spent 14 years digging into grisly murders as pathologist Nikki Alexander in TV hit Silent Witness – here’s proof she has a lighter side.

Emilia, 45, posted this delightful snap, showing she just needs a marvellous bunch of sunflowers and a steaming mug of tea to cheer her up.

The actress is enjoying the most successful period of her career. In addition to Silent Witness, she has starred on Channel 4’s Celebrity Gogglebox with her mother, Joanna David.

Well Hello Dolly! No, it’s not a new acting role in the legendary musical for former Bond star Jane Seymour, but a model of her created by some fans. 

Jane, 69, a film and television star for 50 years, shared the image of the doll – a tribute to her character in 1990s TV drama, Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman.

And she was clearly delighted by it, declaring: ‘How great is this!’

The doll was made by hobbyists Abigail and Rafael who have an entire Instagram page dedicated to their creations.
