British actor Christian Cooke, who replaced Ed Westwick in BBC thriller Ordeal By Innocence, has said he wanted to make the role “his own” and “interpret it my own way”. Cooke replaced Westwick in the BBC One drama after the Gossip Girl star was accused of sexual assault, which he has denied. Cooke, 30, told BBC Breakfast: “I didn’t have a clue and I wouldn’t have wanted to know. The actor, who has previously starred in Love, Rosie, Where the Heart Is and Cemetery Junction, said the 12-day reshoot was “surprisingly seamless”. Agatha Christie's Ordeal by Innocence is coming to @BBCOne at 9pm on Sunday 1st April!
