Rupert Penry-Jones, the star of Spooks, discloses that his wife, Dervla Kirwan, and his mother, Angela Thorne, had a heated row at a celebrated London restaurant.

Brave is the man who talks about tensions between his wife and his mother, but Rupert Penry-Jones is prepared to put his head above the parapet.

The star of Spooks and Whitechapel has disclosed that the actress Dervla Kirwan, whom he married in 2007, became involved in an almighty row with his mother, Angela Thorne, who is best known as Marjory Frobisher in the hit Eighties sitcom To the Manor Born. To make matters worse, the altercation took place in the sophisticated surroundings of a St James’s restaurant favoured by the rich and famous.

“It was at The Wolseley with my wife and mother,” says Penry-Jones, 41, who was educated at Dulwich College in London. “The two of them proceeded to have a massive argument before the food even arrived. I failed to make peace, and ended up getting shouted at, too.”
