Shetland 's newest addition Ashley Jensen appeared on ITV's This Morning on Wednesday to promote the new season of the crime show .
She told Rylan and Josie Gibson: "You never go to what's on your doorstep, and I sometimes think it takes you to go away and travel the world a bit and see other places and then come back and go, this is amazing.The Ugly Betty favourite will take over the lead role and a fresh new chapter in the show.
Ashley said: "Shetland is one of those places that I never, ever thought I would go or get a chance to work there. It was such a privilege to be there and rendered me speechless when I stepped off that wee plane the first time. There were Shetland ponies and puffins – it’s got its own identity which is quite exhilarating actually."
