Channel 4 have announced that Anne-Marie Duff (Accused, The Virgin Queen) will reprise her role in Shameless as the shooting begins the final episode of the long-running comedy drama. In a statement released today the channel revealed that the final ever episode of Shameless is currently shooting on the Chatsworth Estate and in true Shameless fashion some much loved characters turn up to sort out Frank in a suitably Shameless finale for the blisteringly funny and offbeat drama series.

Returning from “buying a loaf of bread”, Monica (Annabelle Apsion) is back in the Gallagher nest – and Frank (David Threlfall)… well, Frank, as ever, is in a spot of bother…

In a state of emergency the Gallagher off-spring are summoned to show solidarity and Fiona (Anne-Marie Duff), Lip (Jody Latham), and Carl (Elliott Tittensor) come running – family will always be at the core of Shameless.

With the Gallaghers reunited alongside all the Chatsworthians plus Kev (Dean Lennox Kelly) and Kelli Hollis (Yvonne Karib) the only way to go is… to party!

Episode 14 of the final ever series – Shameless 11 – shoots until 19 January.

Shameless returns for the last time in the Spring on Channel 4
