On screen, she is the squeaky-clean police officer star of BBC’s Happy Valley. But in reality no one is above the law, which Sarah Lancashire learned the hard way as she was hit with a parking ticket last week.

The actress, 58, who plays Police Sergeant Catherine Cawood, looked far from pleased as she peeled the ticket off her car in west London, where she had parked on a street during the prohibited hours of 8am and 6.30pm.

She was also parked with her wheels on the pavement.

Viewers were left fearing for Sergeant Cawood’s life after murderer Tommy Lee Royce, played by James Norton, 37, escaped from court where he was being charged with the historic murder of Gary Gaggowski whose remains were washed up on a beach in episode one.

‘I do love you, you know,’ he said. ‘You’re all I’ve got. You’re all I’ve ever had… think about it. Think about it and we’ll talk like this tomorrow..’ Sergeant Cawood previously appeared to predict Royce’s courtroom break out, saying: ‘I need protection.

Because if he gets out, he’s coming for me.’ The pair had a showdown in series two and look set to come face-to-face again before the series bows out next Sunday.
