Actor Douglas Booth, 34, has shared photographs on Instagram from a glamping holiday in South Devon with his actress wife Bel Powley, 34.
The pair took time out from their busy filming schedules to stay in an off-grid holiday cabin overlooking the beach in the coastal region.
Posting to Instagram on Monday, Booth shared a collection of pictures showing the couple relaxing together on their tranquil getaway. Powley wore a green and red striped swimsuit as she relaxed in a sauna with her husband before heading out to explore the coastline.
Inside their cosy cabin, Powley spent time solving a crossword puzzle on their bed. The couple then headed outdoors for a hike along the cliffside paths overlooking the coastal scenery.
Powley put her swimwear back on later during the break for a dip in the sea. The 34-year-old actress is set to star as Petunia Dursley in the upcoming television reboot of Harry Potter.
Off-grid escape on the Devon coast
Booth's photo album also showed the couple taking a scenic boat trip to admire the picturesque coastline. During a visit to the local town, they stopped to eat traditional fish and chips.
South Devon is a popular coastal holiday destination in South West England, known for its dramatic cliff walks, beaches, and seaside villages. Off-grid glamping accommodation has become a favored choice for travelers seeking quiet retreats away from urban centers.
Booth and Powley first met in 2016 on the set of the biographical film Mary Shelley. Booth proposed in 2021, and the couple married at Petersham Nurseries in Richmond in October 2023.
The film Mary Shelley, directed by Haifaa al-Mansour, starred Booth as poet Percy Bysshe Shelley alongside Powley as Claire Clairmont. Their wedding venue, Petersham Nurseries in Richmond, is a renowned garden restaurant setting in South West London known for its historic glasshouses and scenic grounds.
Starring role in ITV crime drama
The couple's peaceful holiday comes amid the broadcast of Booth's latest television project. He currently stars in the ITV drama series The Blame alongside actress Michelle Keegan, 39.
In the debut episode of the six-part series, Booth and Keegan engaged in a raunchy public sex scene in the rain. Viewers watched as Keegan's character, Detective Inspector Emma Crane, had a romp with her co-star, Detective Inspector Tom Radley, played by Booth, while investigating the murder of young figure skater Sophie Madsen.
As the murder investigation got under way, Crane discovered deep corruption within her own police team and turned to Radley to help her expose it.
Radley initially told Crane that he was too much of a coward and stormed out of the car. However, he then admitted that although becoming a whistleblower would ruin his career, he would help her because he had feelings for her. Their passionate kiss quickly escalated despite the rain.
ITV viewers praised the performance of Keegan, whose role in The Blame marks her first acting project since giving birth to her daughter, Palma, in March last year. Keegan is well known to British television audiences for her leading roles in hit UK television series.
Critical reception and scathing reviews
While fans praised the show online, Daily Mail television reviewer Christopher Stevens gave the six-part programme a scathing two-star review.
Stevens criticized the storytelling approach taken by the production team. He wrote: "That's the problem with The Blame, and with any drama that puts its social message above its intention to entertain."
The critic argued that the plot developments lacked narrative suspense for the audience. Stevens added: "Every plot twist arrives with sirens blaring and blue lights flashing, a complete surprise to no one at all."
In his feedback, Stevens suggested that the central theme would have been handled better with a different storyline focus. He noted: "But this would be far better tackled by a story that focuses on women, for example the victims of domestic abuse, who are let down or betrayed by police."
Concluding his review of the female lead's character arc, Stevens wrote: "The Blame gives us a heroine who has tolerated her chauvinist colleagues for years before deciding to take a stand, and it doesn't really work."
