Another wrote, referring to Grace's husband: "So Elena knew her husband and possibly had an affair with him and he killed him?"

Does Grace Fraser know more than she is letting on?

A third added: "Got 30 minutes into this and deducted that the dead woman was having an affair with Hugh Grant, who killed her, which is why he said a patient died, and why they left the party at the same time."

Is Jonathan Fraser guilty?

A fourth guessed: "Right, having looked at this whole first episode I have decided that Hugh Grant has killed the lady, the baby is actually his and he's on the run. I'm not sure if he is actually Jonathan Fraser either."

Chatting to Marie Claire with Hugh, the star said: "Well, I like you. So that was a really easy part… Because there was something very relaxed, obviously, because I'm Australian and you're British, we have that… I don’t know, it’s just a sense of humour. It’s good chemistry."

Hugh agreed and Nicole continued: "We talked... I trust you. But that's also part of working together, I think, when you really click, then you sort of sit and you do talk and you share things and you open up.

"You're incredibly honest. I'm always like, ‘Hugh, shush, you can't say that.’"
