Death in Paradise star reveals home is 'haunted by ghosts' after unexplained noises
Actress Anna Chancellor appeared in an episode of Death in Paradise in 2019 as character Ciss Dacre.
Death in Paradise star Anna Chancellor has revealed her home is haunted by ghosts and she's no longer fazed by them after getting used to their presence. Anna, 59, who appeared in an episode of the BBC show back in 2019, is all set to star in her next venture, Prime Video comedy drama My Lady Jane.
The series, which is based on the novel of the same name, follows the English noblewoman (Emily Bader) as she avoids being executed just nine days into her reign as Lady Frances Grey. Instead, viewers will get to see the blossoming love story of Lady Frances as she gets to know her soon-to-be husband Lord Guildford Dudley (played by Edward Bluemel).
The cast and crew filmed the upcoming series at Dover Castle, as Anna revealed she and her co-star Dominic Cooper went ghost-hunting one day.
She told OK!: "Dominic was like, 'We're gonna go look for ghosts,' and I was thought that was fun because it was windy. We were going up a hill and looking around, it was windy.
"And then suddenly Dominic went, 'What is that? Is that a ghost?' And I said, 'I really don't care,' because I feel like I've been in many haunted houses."

The actress went on to explain that not only has she been in many haunted houses, but she also believes her own home is haunted.
She continued: "If I hear crash, bang, wallop in my house, I don't even flinch. I think, 'That's probably a ghost.' I've gotten over being scared of ghosts."
Despite her bravery, Dominic wasn't so friendly with the ghosts as she divulged: "He went running back. He was always running back to catering in the middle of the night."
Anna has had a varied career across film, television and theatre, having starred in a large number of productions over the years.
