Since their debut, they’ve created plenty of memorable moments, one of the most brilliant being Jenny’s dedication to Line of Duty and her efforts to test her detective skills with her ‘H’ notebook.
The pair signed up to the show after Jenny was approached at the Beverley Races Ladies’ Day to take part, however her husband Ray declined the offer to star alongside her.
Giles Wood and Mary Killen
