Happy Valley star James Norton’s character Tommy Lee Royce was seen undergoing a dramatic makeover in prison in the latest episode of the BBC One series. The evil psychopath is currently behind bars in Sheffield, serving time for the brutal murder of police officer Kirsten McAskill and for the abduction of Ann Gallagher.
In Sunday night's episode (January 22) of Sally Wainwright's crime drama, viewers saw Tommy prepare to stand trial for the murder of Gary Gaggowski, whose remains were found washed up in a reservoir in episode one of series three. The long-haired criminal got spruced up for his court date with a haircut and a shave.
The criminal, who while in prison has still managed to meddle in the life of arch-nemesis Sergeant Catherine Cawood, played by Sarah Lancashire, had viewers feeling awkward by having them feeling hot under the collar with his transformation.
