Matthew Gravelle has joked that his wife is now wary of leaving him alone with their children since his reveal as a killer in Broadchurch.

The actor's character Joe Miller was shown to be the murderer of 12-year-old Danny Latimer at the end of the ITV drama's first series, and he joked during an interview with The Sun newspaper that his wife is slightly worried about letting him watch their children Tomi and Ela on his own.

"My wife still finds me attractive so that's something. My ego is unchanged. I'm still at home ... She doesn't like to leave me at home with the kids by a cliff."

A shock twist at the beginning of the second series saw Joe plead not guilty to the murder, leaving fans wondering whether or not he truly is behind the deed.

Whilst that all remains a huge secret, Matthew admits he has confided in his own wife.

"It's a pretty shoddy marriage if you can't confide in your own wife.

"She knows whether or not I did it but she doesn't know the details from episode to episode.

"I'm very lucky to have such a trustworthy wife."

The actor went on to say that it was difficult to keep his involvement in the second series a secret, as people offered him their condolences, thinking he'd been written out of the show.

"It was definitely a challenge keeping the secret. I think most people didn't expect I'd be in it anyway.

"They kept saying, 'Bless you, you're not in the second series are you?' They'd say, 'Oh, that's a bit rough'."
