Suranne Jones has revealed that there won’t be a new series of Doctor Foster until 2019 at least.

In an interview on Lorraine, the actress said her schedule was too busy to consider working on the BBC show this year.

She told Lorraine Kelly: "I'm moving on from this play - I have seven weeks left - then I go to film a Sally Wainwright drama, until December.

"Then I'll look at next year [for Doctor Foster] because I have a two year old and there's no time off."

Earlier this year Jones, who is currently starring in West End play Frozen, said she ‘wasn’t sure’ about a Doctor Foster three.

“I love Mike Bartlett. But would you really want [Tom] to come back to those damaged parents?” she said in a This Morning interview.

The show’s writer Mark Bartlett previously told press that he was up for revisiting the storyline as the ending left room for ‘more’.

“That final moment of last night’s episode obviously opens the door for more to follow and I’ve got some ideas. Watch this space,” he told The Sun.

Lorraine continues weekdays at 8.30am on ITV.
