British actress Ashley Jensen has been left 'devastated' after the sudden death of her actor husband who was found unconscious at home.
Terence Beesley, 60, was married to the Ugly Betty actress for ten years and the couple have an eight-year-old son, Francis.
Mr Beesley, who recently appeared in ITV's hit period drama Victoria, was found collapsed at home.
An ambulance is believed to have arrived at the property in a village near Bath within ten minutes of a 999 call being made but he could not be saved.
The actor married Ms Jensen in 2007 and is believed to be at home comforting their son.
She is best for known for her role in Extras alongside Ricky Gervais and also for her 10-year stint in the comedy Ugly Betty.
A spokesman for Ms Jensen said the Scottish actress, who is currently starring in the BBC's drama Love, Lies and Records, is 'devastated'.
The representative for the Extras and Catastrophe actress said: 'Ashley is devastated and respectfully asks for privacy for her, her young child and the family at this extremely sad and difficult time.'
His death is reported to have occurred late last month, but was only made public yesterday.
An inquest is expected to be concluded in the new year and it is not known if he was in poor health.
