How old is Alexandra Roach and when was she in No Offence?
ITV’s latest drama Viewpoint follows DC Martin Young who sets up surveillance in the middle of a suburban neighbourhood in Manchester.
After a primary school teacher goes missing, the detective - played by Noel Clarke - sets up an observation post in the home of single mum and secret voyeur, Zoe Sterling.
Partly based on a true story, the five-episode crime drama has an incredible cast including Alexandra Roach.

After leaving the series in 2005, she spent time with the National Youth Theatre of Wales before going on to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, graduating with a B.A. in acting in 2010.

The actress also starred in Utopia and famously played a young Margaret Thatcher in 2011’s The Iron Lady.
Other credits include The Pembrokeshire Murders, Being Human, New Tricks, Black Mirror, Death in Paradise as well as 2016 Blockbuster The Huntsman: Winter's War, where she played Doreena.
Is Alexandra Roach married?

In March 2021, Alexandra announced she was going to become a mum on Instagram with a sweet photo cradling her bump.
Seen wearing a black dress in their home city of Bristol, she simply wrote: “I can't wait to meet my new pal.”
Her Killing Eve co-star, Jodie Comer, was quick to congratulate her, along with her Viewpoint co-star Noel Clarke and Gentleman Jack's Sophie Rundle.
