The Merseyside-born actor was named on the New Year Honours list and he said he shares his OBE with his “incredible warrior” mother after she died shortly before he received the award.

Over a three-decade career, Graham has won plaudits playing Irish, English and American criminals and police officers in blockbuster Hollywood films and hit TV dramas.

Who is Stephen Graham’s wife?

Graham is married to actress Hannah Walters and the pair have worked alongside each other in This Is England and Boiling Point.

Speaking on BBC Radio Four’s Desert Island Discs in 2019, Graham said he and Walters moved in together in south London after what was technically their first date following a period of talking.

He added: “This is kind of where Hannah came into my life properly.”

Walters, who is executive producer along with Graham on the Boiling Point TV series, also helps him choose his roles.

He told a Bafta session: “I’m dyslexic, so I struggle. My missus actually reads the script and says whether or not I’m doing it. She’s made some good choices.”
