Michelle Keegan has revealed a deleted scene from Fool Me Once that involved her character being kidnapped.
The actress plays the role of Maya Stern in the Netflix series, which follows the character as she searches for answers after her supposedly dead husband appears on her nanny cam.
Speaking to Variety about some of the show's action scenes, Keegan revealed that one plotline – involving Maya fighting off men Judith Burkett (Joanna Lumley) had sent to kidnap her – was left on the cutting room floor.

"We had these amazing stunt guys, who taught me military moves that she could know, that would take a man down," she recalled.
"There was a scene that we did with three of the stunt men, but it didn’t make the final cut. Judith was having Maya kidnapped and Maya had to fight off three guys. I shot one and the other two guys ran off.
"It was really fun to film, but because of time it didn’t make it," Keegan further explained. "At least that’s what they told me. Maybe they thought that would be too much to believe. [Laughs]."

Last week, Keegan reflected on the show's huge success as she accepted the Variety Club Silver Heart Award for outstanding achievement in global television and streaming.
"I’m so grateful to receive [this award]," she said. "The response to Fool Me Once has been both overwhelming and incredible, I feel privileged to be in a job that I love and to work with extremely talented people."
Fool Me Once is available on Netflix.
