The 'Only Fools and Horses' legend is currently guest starring in the BBC One soap as talent agent Estelle Jones, and she is "very excited" about her part in upcoming Channel 5 drama series 'The Reluctant Madame Blanc'.
Sue wrote on Twitter: "At last I can announce that my new husband will be the legend that is @Robin_Askwith in the thrilling new Channel 5 series The Reluctant Madame Blanc, starring @sally_lindsay, her co writer @DameVincentSue, and @sirsteveedge. Set in the south of France. Very excited. (sic)"
Robin Askwith will play Sue's husband in the new drama, which has been written by former 'Coronation Street' actress Sally Lindsay and her 'Mount Pleasant' co-star Sue Vincent.
Sally said: "I’ve always been fascinated by the worlds of antiques and Agatha Christie, so putting the two together and creating the world of St. Victoire with Sue has been an absolute joy.
"We are so excited to show the audience the stunning sunny locations and beautiful antiques cloaked in a veil of mystery and can’t wait for you to see what Jean unravels as she embarks on her new life in the sun."
The series will tell the story of respected antiques dealer Jean White, whose life is turned upside down when she learns her husband has died on his way back home from the South of France, and she later discovers their money has gone and their shop has been re-mortgaged.
Sebastian Cardwell, Channel 5 Deputy Director of Programmes, added: "Channel 5’s return to original drama has been a great success, especially with Sally Lindsay starring in 'Cold Call' in 2019, which was a real hit with our viewers.
"With a brilliant creative team at the helm, I have no doubt that this series will also have viewers hooked from the very beginning, impatiently waiting for the mystery to unravel in St. Victoire."
