Is Matt Bardock married? Who is his wife?

What have I seen Matt in before?

Matt has quite an impressive CV with starring roles in a long line of big-name shows.

One of his most recognised roles is as Casualty paramedic Jeff Collier. He was in that role for seven years between 2007-2014 before his character was tragically killed off in a vehicle explosion.

During his stint on the show his character had a close friendship with fellow paramedic Kathleen ‘Dixie’ Dixon.

Their close bond even saw Jeff marry her, despite her being a lesbian, to grant her father his dying wish of seeing her get hitched.

He’s also made appearances in The Bill, Kavanagh QC, Prime Suspect, A Touch Of  Frost and Doctors – to name but a few of his credits!

What is Matt Bardock doing now?

While Matt doesn’t seem to currently have anything in the pipeline we are sure it won’t be long before he is popping up on a stage or screen near you.

For now, we’ll have to settle for the daily instalments of The Coroner on BBC One.

Is Davey on The Coroner married?

Yes! Davey is married but his wife has never actually been seen on screen. Talking about their relationship Matt said: “I think she knows that their relationship isn’t the perfect one and that work is a smokescreen for Davey and Jane to be together. We don’t actually see his wife.”
