I have felt slightly deceitful over the last two weeks when people have asked me about his death.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;Whilst I have enjoyed being somewhat of an enigma over that time, I\u2019m really looking forward to seeing how the drama we shot is received on screen. Both Ollie and I really enjoyed shooting it, so hopefully the jeopardy of Mack\u2019s position will keep the audience gripped!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not dead &#8220;yet&#8221;?
