Bertie's famous wife
Bertie, 47, isn't the only crime drama star in his family. His wife, Sally Scott, played Nell Hathaway, DS James Hathaway's sister, in the hit show Lewis from 2006 to 2015. She's also appeared in Trauma, Silent Witness, Vera and The Tower, and has even starred alongside her husband in Dalgliesh, playing Helen Rainer in season one.

Bertie and Sally tied the knot in 2019 after a decade of dating.
Opening up about their romance during an interview with The Times back in 2020, Bertie said: "We met in 2009 through some close friends who introduced us. We didn't [rush into anything], no. She proposed to me via WhatsApp while I was doing Baghdad Central, actually."
Bertie and Sally's home life in London
Bertie and Sally are proud parents to their son, who arrived in May 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic. Speaking about welcoming a newborn during lockdown, Bertie previously told ITV's This Morning: "It was stressful, in the lead-up particularly, we were reading stuff about hospitals in New York refusing birth partners access to the birth and worried that something like that might happen here.

The family live in London.
