NO one wants to get on the wrong side of Ray Winstone – but in the actor's latest TV role he is one that has to make things right.

The 58-year-old plays a criminal who gets out of jail after serving 12 years for armed robbery in the ITV drama The Trials of Jimmy Rose.

But he finds that life after prison is not what he bargained for after becoming estranged from his family.

That includes his youngest granddaughter India who is played by Twiss Green Primary School pupil Daisy Cooper-Kelly.

Six-year-old Daisy got the part through Little Stars Stage School in Appleton.

The drama also sees Ray reunite with Amanda Redman, who played his wife in the acclaimed film, Sexy Beast.

Lauren Kelly, who runs Little Stars, said: "Daisy was the only child on set so she loved filming with Ray Winstone and Amanda Redman.

"Amanda has even been tweeting about working with Daisy."

Daisy has been at Little Stars since she was four and attends with her little sister Rosie. The Culcheth resident filmed her scenes over several months in Alderley Edge.

Lauren added: "Daisy is a delight to work with. She's so talented for her age and has a real natural ability on stage and screen.

"She always works really hard and I can't wait to see her on our TV screens. She's also had recalls this week for more exciting projects so I feel this will be the first of many things we see Daisy in."

The Trials of Jimmy Rose was created by Alan Whiting, who wrote episodes of Wire in the Blood, and directed by Adrian Shergold, who worked on Mad Dogs.

Ray plays Jimmy, who throughout his lifetime has made crime pay with a beautiful detached home in luxury estate.

But the series explores the real cost of a life of crime to his family.

- The Trials Of Jimmy Rose begins on ITV later this month.

- Little Stars is for youngsters aged between three and 18. Anyone interested in starting with the stage school in September should visit littlestarsstageschool.com
