Douglas Booth says his first time working with Michelle Keegan on ITV drama The Blame led to a surprising discovery about her. Both outlets report that Booth discussed his experience after collaborating with Keegan on the new series, emphasizing that there was something he did not expect going into their on-set partnership.

The Manchester Evening News and the Daily Record frame the story around Booth’s comments and present the surprise as a personal behind-the-scenes insight. While neither article’s headline details the specific content of what surprised him, both attribute the remarks to Booth and connect them directly to The Blame, describing the drama as ITV’s new gripping series. The coverage focuses on what Booth learned about Keegan during production, rather than on plot details or critical reception of the show.

Overall, both sources agree on the core facts: Booth and Keegan work together for the first time on The Blame, and Booth shares a “what surprised him most” revelation drawn from their time filming.
