Cheat ITV Drama Cast: Where Have You Seen Them Before?
Katherine Kelly and Molly Windsor are just a few names in the Cheat ITV drama cast, the psychological thriller which aired last year.
Netflix is all the rage nowadays, with our watch lists growing longer by the minute. But as we are heavily reliant on the media giant, we often overlook the gripping TV series’ that ITV grace us with.
Cheat is a psychological thriller about a university professor who accuses one of her students of plagiarism. But as a twisted relationship evolves between the two women, things soon get very dark as viewers are forced to consider both sides of the story and decide who is telling the truth.
With the opening moments showing that the story will build up to murder, the game of cat and mouse becomes utterly nerve wracking.
