Pam Ferris has been absent from our screens in recent years as she enjoys a peaceful life in a quiet Kent village with her Notting Hill star husband.
The 73-year-old TV icon has delighted audiences young and old with her roles in films and shows over the last 50 years, and is perhaps best known for playing Miss Trunchbull in the 1996 big-screen version of Roald Dahl’s classic book, Matilda.
Pam also starred as the lovable Ma Larkin, opposite David Jason as her husband, in the ITV series The Darling Buds of May back in the 1990s, as well as roles in Where The Heart Is, and Rosemary & Thyme, in which she played a sleuth alongside Felicity Kendal.
