EastEnders and Hollyoaks stars Jo Joyner and Rachel Shenton have teamed up for new Channel 5 psychological thriller, Under My Skin.
The show, produced by Gaumont, tells the story of a woman who seems to have it all. However, when a new friend starts to cause chaos in her life, everything starts to unravel.
Joyner, who recently finished filming Channel 5 thriller Riptide, stars as Laura, a woman who has the perfect family on paper, but behind the veil, her life is anything but.

She soon meets Emily, played by Shenton, who is determined to destroy Laura and everything she holds dear.
Joyner said that she was proud to be a part of a production that has an almost exclusively female team.

"I'm really looking forward to working on this gripping thriller for Channel 5. It is really great to be working with Gaumont, an almost exclusively female team and I feel this is reflected in the brilliant scripts.
"There is such a contradiction with the character of Laura, so focused and organised in her work life and yet chaotic and insecure with her home life. I feel it really resonates. I am so looking forward to working with Rachel Shenton and for us to bring these two flawed women to the screen."

Her co-star, Shenton, said it was a pleasure to be a part of a story that felt so "dark and compelling".
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be part of Under her Skin. Jo Rogers has created such a dark and compelling story that has two women at its centre. I loved it and couldn't put it down. I can't wait to bring Emily to life. She's wild."
Under Her Skin has begun filming in Malta and is set to air on Channel 5 in 2023.
