Here’s a juicy detail: Emer Kenny is married to Rickie Haywood-Williams. He’s from the band McFly. Yes, Bunty’s actress is a rockstar’s wife. Fancy that.
She also wrote episodes for Father Brown. That’s right, she’s behind the camera too. It’s a double talent that makes her scenes even sweeter. She knows exactly how Bunty should trip.
And get this: she’s a huge fan of the show’s period costumes. She once said wearing Bunty’s hats gives her “instant character.” Hats = personality. Who knew?

The On-Set Dynamic
Working with Mark Williams (Father Brown) is a blast. Emer says he’s incredibly funny off-screen. They share a mischievous energy that shines through. You can feel the fun in every episode.
But the real gem? Bunty’s relationship with Inspector Mallory (Jack Deam). They bicker like siblings. It’s comedy gold. Emer and Jack are close friends in real life.
And don’t forget the fans. People love Bunty’s bad driving. There’s a whole episode where she crashes a police car. It’s a highlight reel of hilarious mistakes. Emer owns it.
