Happy Valley's James Norton pays tribute to stunt double as he shares behind the scenes moment of final scene

Happy Valley star James Norton waved goodbye to evil Tommy Lee Royce in February as the Sally Wainwright drama came to a fiery conclusion. Now the actor has paid tribute to the brave stuntman who was actually set alight during the concluding scenes of the BBC One smash hit drama.

Sharing the eye-opening video on his Instagram, James said he was sharing the video now to make sure there was enough time for everyone to catch up on the series, which aired its final scenes on February 5.

Alongside the video of his stunt double, Leo Woodruff, being prepped and then set alight, James wrote: "Huge respect to @leonardstunts, my stunt double. The man literally goes up in flames." Over the video he added the caption: "Waited a beat before posting, in case people hadn't caught up."
