Jason, who hails from Salford, posted about his wife's achievements on his social media. He said: "My wife made this excellent show! It's an absolute smasher and will fill the hole that Happy Valley has left...Crime thriller with a twist!"
Lucy and Jason have been married since 2017 after Jason split from his first wife Catherine in 2013. Jason and Lucy have two children together and Jason has four children from his previous marriage to Catherine and he likes to keep his children's identities out of the spotlight.
