Keeping Faith: GMB's Sean Fletcher explains reason for surprise appearance in BBC drama

Sean Fletcher has discussed his acting debut on Good Morning Britain after switching his presenting duties for a role in the BBC drama Keeping Faith.

The presenter, who was hosting alongside Kate Garraway on Friday's instalment of GMB, played the role of a barrister in the popular Welsh drama starring Eve Myles.

The show is set in the fictional town of Abercorran, but much of the series is filmed in Laugharne. You can see what the cast said about filming in stunning Welsh locations here.

Discussing his own role with his co-presenters Kate and Charlotte Hawkins, Sean said: "This was in the summer. I had the chance to appear in Keeping Faith which is a BBC drama."

Remaining modest, he added: "One of the main reasons I got it was because the drama is filmed in English and Welsh and I speak Welsh."

Responding, Charlotte said: "I am sure it was your acting ability. It could be the start of something you never know. I watched it and it was a proud moment. Well done."
