James Norton couldn't be further from his wayward Happy Valley character Tommy Lee Royce and in real life he's settled down happily in London with his famous fiancée, actress Imogen Poots.

In a 2015 interview with The Telegraph, the actor allowed cameras into his private home for a photoshoot, which included a striking snap of him posing in his home office.

On Instagram, James has given some other looks inside his quirky home. In one black-and-white snap, the star could be seen standing in front of a wall of photo frames. The stylish gallery wall features a range of different frames in various sizes, featuring paintings and photographs.

The stars are engaged 

Although James' home is a sanctuary of wellness, he has confessed that he needs to get out of it each and every day. In the same interview, he opened up about it. The star said: "I grew up in the countryside so I feel guilty if I am inside too much. As a result, every day I have to go out and do something, like riding my bike."
