Ugly Betty star Ashley Jensen is “devastated” after the death of her husband at the age of 60, her spokeswoman has said.
Actor and writer Terence Beesley, who appeared in the ITV drama Victoria, died at the end of November.
He married Jensen, 48, in 2007 and they have an eight-year-old son.
A representative for the Extras and Catastrophe actress said: “Ashley is devastated and respectfully asks for privacy for her, her young child and the family at this extremely sad and difficult time.”
Born in London to Irish parents, Beesley’s career took off in the 1980s with a string of television appearances along with parts in film and on stage.
Most recently he played Buxton in ITV’s Victoria, portrayed General Benningsen in BBC One’s War & Peace and appeared in the feature film London Has Fallen, all in 2016.
His representative said: “It is with great sadness that I can confirm that Terence passed away at the end of November.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
