Silent Witness in product placement row as Emilia Fox’s friend’s brand appears in show
SILENT Witness has been forced to respond after Emilia Fox was spotted wearing clothes from her friend's brand in the BBC drama.
Emilia often steals a scene thanks to her incredible wardrobe playing Dr Nikki Alexander.
And in the new series the 49-year-old actress, who has starred in Silent Witness since 2004, modelled at least one item from the collection in every episode.
The clothing range has been popping up in various scenes and in one installment Nikki stuns in a £170 sleeveless jumper and a £220 cordless double-breasted jacket.
In another she wears a cord dress that retails for £295 and £260 tweed herringbone jacket.
Emilia also features on its website and has plugged the brand on her Instagram page.
