Finding love in middle age after leaving a long-term marriage can be difficult to accept, especially when you think it will last forever.
But for Olivier Award-winning actress Nicola Walker, 54, who stars as formidable family lawyer Hannah Defoe in BBC One’s The Split: Barcelona, wants people to take another chance on love when fate brings that opportunity along.
“The Split: Barcelona conveys a hopeful message ultimately. I think there’s a lot of joy in it. I mean, there’s a lot of fear too. It is difficult to accept that a marriage that you thought would last forever turned out to have an endpoint. But if you can pick yourself up and be vulnerable and go again, even at an age where you thought everything would be sorted – and it’s not, your world’s falling apart a little bit – it’s still okay,” says Walker.
