If you're a fan of Miss Marple, and you have a penchant for Holly Willoughby, then boy is it your lucky day. Because the co-presenter of This Morning has landed her dream role in an Agatha Christie whodunnit. "It's been a lifelong ambition for me to appear in one of the Marple films as I've been a fan for years," said Willoughby, who was given the role by the This Morning production team as a birthday present. A lovely thought. "I had an amazing time and felt very welcomed by everyone on set, especially Julia McKenzie, who kindly lent me her handwarmers on our cold night shoot," added Willoughby, who will play a 17th century witch called Goody Carne. She will take her place in an all-star cast alongside – get this – Holly Valance, Nigel Planer, Sarah Alexander and Nicholas Parsons. Let's hope her cameo lasts longer than just a minute.
