Quiz star Matthew Macfadyen and wife Keeley Hawes walk their dog after finale of the ITV show
QUIZ actor Matthew Macfadyen and actress wife Keeley Hawes took their dog for a walk after the ITV show finale.
The talented couple were seen taking their pooch out for a stroll following the conclusion of the television drama.
The former Spooks stars were spotted with their cute canine pal as they walked through their neighbourhood.
The actor was dressed down in a hoodie and tracksuit bottoms, while his wife Keeley looked casual and comfy in a shirt and shorts, a large overcoat and white trainers.
Succession star Matthew has just wowed viewers with his role of Major Charles Ingram in ITV drama Quiz about the 2001 Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? scandal.
The ex-Army Major won £1 million on the gameshow, but was later arrested and charged along with his wife for cheating alongside coughing accomplice Tecwen Whittock.
Of the scandal, actor Matthew said he and on-screen wife, Fleabag’s Sian Clifford, couldn't make their minds up as to whether the couple were guilty or not.
He said: "Sian and I kept sort of grabbing each other during filming going: 'They did it! Guilty! Yeah.' Then, five minutes later: 'No, no, no, they didn’t!'."
While it appears the cast had fun filming the drama seen in backstage shots on social media.
Presenter Chris Tarrant, played by Michael Sheen in the drama, spoke to Chris Moyles on Radio X regarding Quiz.
He said: "It was very well made wasn’t it? It was actually very well done but it is a drama, it’s not factual.
"So most of those conversations were made up because that’s what playwrights do. I mean the bottom line is he’s a rotter and a cad and a bandit and he was guilty. No question in my mind at all that he was guilty!"
Speaking about the night Charles won the million, Chris recalled: "I’ve always said, I saw nothing. But the studio that night was like a madhouse.
"People were screaming and gasping just because he was so, you know he’s a serving British Army Major who’s on, I don’t know £30k a year, rented accommodation or whatever, and he’s going 'Oh yes £500,000, let’s risk it, let’s play' and all this and you think 'why would you do that?'
