We are thrilled to announce that JONATHAN HOULSTON is currently filming the highly anticipated new ITV drama, The Party, based on Elizabeth Day's bestselling novel.
Jonathan is playing the younger version of the main character, Martin Gilmour, played by the delectable Luke Evans!
We can't wait to see him on screen next year alongside such an incredible cast.
Congratulations, Jonathan!
