As well as a Christmas special, the Channel 5 crime drama created by Lindsay and Sue Vincent will be back on the small screen with seven new episodes promising a large dose of 'unusual antiques and objéts d'art, murder, mystery, sunshine and laughter'.

Coronation Street star Sally returns as Jean White, who will be joined by Benidorm's Steve Edge as Dom Hayes. Plus co-writer Sue Vincent (Mount Pleasant, Shameless) as mechanic Gloria Beaushaw, Tony Robinson as Dom's Uncle Patrick, a petty thief turned pub landlord and Paul Chuckle as Trevor, Gloria's dad and some surprise guest appearances.

The Royle Family star said of the show's return: "I think if you had told me five years ago when I came up with the idea of Madame Blanc that in the not too distant future our show would be not only a hit in the United Kingdom but America, Australia, Canada (to name but a few), I would have been astounded.

"But, amazingly, it is! And our team could not be more thrilled to bring you a brand new season of sunshine, laughs and antiques. All the gang are back with some more fantastic surprise guests visiting St. Victoire and we can't wait for you all to enjoy soon."

Meanwhile, Channel 5's Commissioning Editor Greg Barnett said: "The Madame Blanc Mysteries has won over the hearts of our audience, and we can't wait to say 'Bonjour' to our Sainte Victoire favourites once again.

"The crime rates may be sky-high in this village, but we're in great hands with the brilliant Jean White, and trusty sidekicks, to crack every case."

The Christmas special is set to air on Channel 5 later this year.
