Liar season 2 SPOILER: Is THIS how Andrew Earlham met his grizzly death?

Viewers of ITV thriller Liar were delighted to learn the series would return this year for a second run, after sinister surgeon Andrew Earlham was seen lying dead in the marshes in the last moments of season one.

And in new behind-the-scenes images, Ioan Gruffudd - who plays Earlham - is seen evidently filming flashbacks portraying how he was killed off.

Pictured this week on the Maldon Salt Marshes in Essex, Ioan was seen covered in mud, seemingly fighting for his life, gripping at his throat.

In a further twist, co-star Joanne Froggatt was also spotted on location, seen in a dramatic clinch with Ioan and also caked in mud.

Joanne - who plays rape victim Laura Nielson - was pictured walking alongside Ioan in initial snaps, laughing with her co-star, both dressed in spotless outfits.

Yet things soon take a turn when the scenes look to get vicious before too long.

Adding to this, Ioan was spotting brandishing a knife - but seemed to fall victim to it himself later in the scene.

Fans of the show were left in shock when the final scene of season one saw Earlham pale and motionless in a ditch, his throat evidently slit.

And the latest scenes seem to point to Laura being the culprit - with many having suspected this anyway.

After Earlham was seen dead, the final frames of Liar's last episode saw Laura kayaking through the marshland, presumably away from the scene of the crime.
