He was likened by journalist Richard to Spiderman after leaping from the dock and escaping from court in Leeds, and Happy Valley fans took issue as they watched the villainous Tommy Lee Royce in the latest episode. In the penultimate episode of the BBC One police drama on Sunday, January 29, Tommy was clean-shaved again and free of his shaggy beard and man bun after having a makeover behind bars as he prepared to stand trial for the murder of Gary Gaggowski.
Tommy, played by James Norton, was in hiding after making his escape on a bike over the moors, and fans complained that the vile psychopath was looking too attractive for their liking. @KRamsey1997 tweeted: "He looks more like a superman than an oik." And they said: "I love this show but have said since day 1 that James Norton is miscast #HappyValley."
@grimbletweets messaged: "Tommy Lee Royce is looking altogether too Hollywood for a jail-breaking psychopath." And @thechloeshow pointed out: "Tommy has got absolutely no business having such a sexy jaw, nose and haircut."
