Midsomer Murders set to have its first OnlyFans-style storyline this year
MIDSOMER Murders is set to have its first OnlyFans-style storyline this year — about shoe fetishists.
Helen Lederer, 69, plays a woman selling suggestive pictures online for cash — just as with the internet content subscription service.
It will be a daring departure for the normally more sedate ITV staple, which is now in its 23rd murder-packed series since the show’s debut in 1997.
Comedian Helen told The Sun on Sunday of her character’s saucy sideline flogging snaps.
She said: “It’s on a website as I’m selling my shoes to fetishists.
“I had to perfect a turn of the ankle. I wasn’t surprised when I got offered it. I thought to myself, ‘That interesting’.”
The episode is expected to air in summer.
Last Sunday’s series opener saw DCI John Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon), and DS Jamie Winter (Nick Hendrix), along with pathologist Dr Fleur Perkins (Annette Badland) investigate the death of a paranoid survivalist found in a bombproof shelter after someone tampered with the air filter.
Helen guest-starred in Corrie earlier this month, playing the new love interest of Ken Barlow, who has been played by Bill Roache, 91, since 1960.
Asked about Bill, she said: “He’s very nice and has a lovely twinkle in his eye. He’s very charming.”
