Witness Number 3
My5
In her latest series, Nina Toussaint-White portrays the main protagonist in Witness Number 3: a single mother named Jodie, whose life changes forever when she unwittingly becomes a key witness in a murder trial. She soon begins to receive ominous text messages, memes and links to her phone from a local gang that the killer is a part of. On speaking about her character in the new Channel 5 show, Toussaint-White said:
"She's a single mum. She owns a hairdressing salon. She's a strong part of her community. She's very community-led and based and one morning, she's at work, [and] she looks at her window and she sees two men crossing the road. Now, this seems like nothing out of the ordinary. But the police – a few days later – they put out an appeal for people to step forward and make a statement. And Jodie, being the girl who does the right thing, steps forward to make this statement, thinking that whatever she says has little to no weight in their investigation..."
