Grégory Fitoussi won over a new legion of fans as dashing window dresser Henri Leclair in ITV's shop-floor saga Mr Selfridge. But now, the French actor is a far cry from Edwardian London as he stars in ITVI's new murder mystery The Reunion, set against the beautiful backdrop of the south of France.

The six-parter, which premiered on ITVX earlier this year, sees Grégory play politician Maxime Biancardini, whose old friend Thomas Degalais (Ioan Gruffudd) remains unhealthily obsessed with his beguiling pal, Vinca Rockwell (Ivanna Sakhno), who vanished during a snowstorm in 1997.

But when Maxime, Thomas and their childhood group of friends are invited to a 25-year reunion at their old international school in the French Riviera, secrets about that fateful night soon begin to unravel - including Maxime's connection to a murder linked to Vinca's disappearance.
