Celebrity Traitors star Sharon Rooney has been spotted on set for the third season of BBC’s comedy Daddy Issues, starring Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey.
Rooney, also known for starring in My Mad Fat Diary between 2013 and 2015, is set to return as Catherine in Daddy Issues. The character is the sister of protagonist Gemma (played by Wood) who has had some trouble with the law and landed behind bars.
In pictures obtained by Digital Spy, it looks like Catherine is now a free woman as she reunites with her dad Malcolm, played by Morrissey.

Rooney’s character can be seen walking in an all-black outfit consisting of pleather trousers, a black denim vest over a top adorned with a studded skull and boots to match. She holds a carrier bag with her belongings, meaning that Catherine might be just out of jail.
In a second snap, dad Malcolm is elated to welcome his daughter back home, as is her ex-husband Gary (Ed Jones), who holds a floral bouquet for her.
It’ll be interesting to see whether the couple have managed to put the past behind them.
Season 1 of the perfect-rated show, which has a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, kicked off with Catherine serving time for attempting to have Gary killed. However, all was forgiven in season 2, when the pair enlisted Gemma’s help to try and conceive a baby despite Catherine’s prison sentence.
