ITV thriller Our House to feature cast including Line of Duty's Martin Compston

Anyone who's read best-selling novel Our House will be thrilled to learn that ITV have turned it into a thriller with a stellar cast.

Our House, by popular author Louise Candlish, is one of the most buzzed about books of recent years, receiving a lot of attention on social media and being a real word of mouth success story.

Well now it looks set to be a ratings winner for ITV, with Tuppence Middleton (Downton Abbey, Shadowplay, War and Peace) and Line of Duty favourite Martin Compston playing estranged husband and wife Fi and Bram Lawson as Rupert Penry-Jones (The Drowning, Whitechapel, The Last Weekend) takes on the role of enigmatic Toby.

Our House really is stuff the nightmares as it kicks off with Fi arriving home to see strangers moving into her house, with her pleading with them that they've made a mistake.

At the same time, she desperately tries and fails to get in touch with other half Bram, with flashbacks revealing why he's had to do a disappearing act, as Fi becomes romantically involved with Toby, who appears to be her much needed knight in shining armour.

As with all thrillers, there are many twists and turns on the horizon when Our House makes its TV debut in the spring.

News of Our House being turned into a TV drama has been met with a big response online.

Writer Louise teased that big news was coming on Tuesday when she tweeted: "Oh my God, some exciting stuff coming soon..." before posting individual images of the cast.

One of her followers replied to the picture of Martin, writing: "So exciting. I loved your book so much and Martin Compston is always a pleasure to watch."

A second told her: "Ooooooo loved this book - exciting!"
