Who is Freddie Fox? White House Farm actor takes on role of murderer Jeremy Bamber

Freddie Fox is back on TV this week as murderer Jeremy Bamber in horrifying new ITV drama White House Farm.

The new series documents that the shocking murders carried out against his family on their farm near Essex in 1985, with Freddie in the role of the man who still protests his innocence to this day, despite being one of the few prisoners in the UK subject to a whole-life order.

Essex Police initially believed that Sheila who had mental health problems, had murdered her own family before turning the gun on herself. But Detective Sergeant Stan Jones had doubts about the murder-suicide theory, and about Sheila’s brother Jeremy, who first called the police to the farm, leading to his arrest and conviction for all of the killings.

begins on ITV on Wednesday, January 8 at 9pm, just as Freddie's sister, Emilia Fox, is on BBC1 in the new series of Silent Witness.

Who is Freddie Fox?

Freddie, 30, is an English actor who first appeared on the big screen in St Trinian's 2 in 2009, appearing on TV that same year in TV film Why Didn't They Ask Evans.

Since then, TV appearances have come for Freddie in the likes of BBC's Boy George biopic Worried About The Boy, King Louis XIII in The Three Musketeers (2011), Edwin Drood in the BBC's The Mystery of Edwin Drood (2012), and Freddie Baxter in the two gay dramas Cucumber and Banana on Channel 4 and E4 respectively.
