Katherine was eager to reveal how Belfast's brutal weather impacted filming. She explained: "This is a really ambitious project, we filmed it in Belfast but it's set in London though so it had to look like anywhere in the world."

Andi interjected and enquired: "Bangkok is one of the places, so you had to make Bangkok in Belfast?"

Katherine proceeded to detail the severe conditions they encountered on set, stating: "Not only did we do it in Belfast in the winter, but there was an amber weather warning that day."

She added: "So I said to Chris, our brilliant director, I was like 'how are we going to make Belfast street look like Bangkok, also how are we going to do it today because it hasn't stopped raining today'."

The actress confessed: "We shot it that night because it needed to look moody, and we had about 35 supporting artists, we all had summer clothes on freezing in the rain.

"We were literally dragging our feet through the puddles. I honestly thought we would have to reshoot that, but it looks incredible. You have to keep watching because it is right at the end, but it was absolutely brilliant."

The Channel 4 thriller In Flight centres on a flight attendant and single mum, Jo, who discovers herself trapped in a living hell when her son, Sonny, is locked up in Bulgaria for a killing he insists he didn't carry out.

Subsequently, Jo is contacted by an enigmatic figure who discloses himself to be part of a criminal organisation that has methods to reach Sonny behind bars.

Through making threats against his life, they force Jo into trafficking narcotics across international boundaries by exploiting her anonymity as cabin crew when passing through airport security.

Katherine is scheduled to appear alongside Martin, Ashley Thomas, and Bronagh Waugh, who have secured pivotal parts.

This Morning broadcasts weekdays from 10am on ITV1 and ITVX and In Flight debuts on Channel 4 on Tuesday 12th August 2025.
