See Zoë and her Mr Selfridge co-stars in behind-the-scenes videos

23 January 2015 22:08

What a treat for fans of Zoë and Mr Selfridge! Breakfast show Good Morning Britain and lifestyle programme Lorraine have both gone behind-the-scenes of the drama's eagerly anticipated third series, filmed last year. If you missed these short features on TV today, you'll be pleased to know that they are available to watch online.

Good Morning Britain's entertainment editor, Richard Arnold, was on-set to watch the filming of Rosalie Selfridge's and Serge de Bolotoff's lavish wedding day. During breaks between the filming, he chatted to Zoë and several other cast members. As he pointed out, Zoe's character – Serge's headstrong mother, Princess Marie Wiasemsky – has raised a very handsome son. 'Isn't he pretty!' Zoë laughed.

On Lorraine showbiz reporter Dan Wootton was also on-set with the Mr Selfridge series three cast. Zoë is 'a legend', he emphasised. 'How do you think viewers are going to react to you when you hit the screens?' he asked her. 'With love and awe!' she joked.

Both behind-the-scenes features include a clip of Princess Marie enjoying her son's wedding reception, dressed in a characteristically extravagant, turquoise outfit – complete with a show-stopping hat. As described by Zoe in a recent interview, the hat looks 'like a crown', emphasising Marie's imperious nature. Marie is clearly no wallflower, and she suggests to journalist Frank Edwards that he should write a book about her colourful life. 'A very big book!' smiles the princess.

Mr Selfridge series three begins on 25 January, at 9pm on ITV1/STV.
