Just as Kenny Doughty walks away from Vera, his famous other half Ashley Jenson has started filming on another Ann Cleeves drama.
Last month, DS Aiden Healy actor Kenny panicked fans when he posted series of on-set photos from Vera on Instagram, along with some of his co-stars and captioned them: 'Thank you for the memories.' Kenny didn't elaborate on what exactly he meant by that, as fans started to speculate, before all became clear when he returned to the social media platform a few weeks later to confirm that he had 'handed DS Healy's badge in,' ending his eight year stint as Brenda Blethyn's famous sidekick.
Kenny's announcement, which was followed by the news that fellow cast member Ibinabo Jack has also left Vera, left ITV viewers gutted, with Vera star Riley Jones also saying he 'didn't know where to start,' when it came to drafting a response to the news.
