She will soon be seen as a the lady of the house in a revival of television favourite Upstairs Downstairs — but away from the cameras Keeley Hawes admits decorating her own family home has become an obsession.
The 34-year-old who plays Lady Agnes Holland in the new revamped version of the BBC classic, acknowledges she’s at her most content working on the renovation of her Victorian property in Twickenham. Keeley, who is married to Spooks star Matthew Macfadyen, explains: “Something strange happens to you when you hit your 30s. Suddenly you look past the women’s glossies to all those lovely interiors magazines. We love a good paint chart.”
While a regular face on TV these days, the mum-of-three insists her young children remain largely oblivious to her fame. “If I were the presenter of CBeebies it would be different”” she says.
