New Tricks star ‘freaks out’

New TRICKS star Amanda Redman “freaked out” and burst into tears when she saw her daughter playing a badly-injured woman on the hit detective show.

Emily Glenister, her daughter from her marriage to Hustle star Robert Glenister, is making her screen debut on the BBC1 show.

Redman said it was “weird” acting alongside her. “The first scene we did together had me finding Emily unconscious, with blood everywhere and a great slice out of her cheek.”

Glenister, whose uncle Philip played Gene Hunt in Life On Mars, said: “Basically, Mum got all freaked out and started crying.”

The show features Redman alongside Alun Armstrong, Dennis Waterman and James Bolam working in the Met’s Unsolved Crime and Open Case squad.
