First look at Holly Willoughby’s cameo appearance in Midsomer Murders as star is praised by colleagues

The first look of Holly Willoughby’s cameo appearance in Midsomer Murders has been revealed by ITV.

The clip was shared on Wednesday morning’s Good Morning Britain, as hosts Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway interviewed Neil Dudgeon, who plays DCI John Barnaby in the ITV drama series.

Dudgeon explained: “Well, she’s sort of a friend of the show I suppose – she’s a great fan of the show and we’re always looking to broaden our casting net.”

Discussing Willoughby’s cameo further, which was filmed two years ago, he added: “She was great, she was thoroughly professional.”
