Silent Witness is coming back to BBC One this month and fans who have been 'shipping' Dr Nikki Alexander (Emilia Fox) and Jack Hodgson (David Caves) will see the two main characters very much in a relationship. The crime series is celebrating its 25th anniversary which will also see the return of original lead character Sam Ryan (Amanda Burton).
Viewers who had long wondered why forensic pathologist Nikki and forensic scientist Jack weren't an item will find the two at the beginning of their relationship when the show makes its eagerly-anticipated return, Fox said. The new series will follow from the end of the last series and Nikki has spent the night at Jack's house.
And while Fox, 47, confirmed Nikii and Jack two were in a relationship, she was coy about how it pans out. In an interview put out by the BBC, she responded to the kiss in the final episode of series 24.
