British actress MINNIE DRIVER stunned her co-workers on her new TV project by returning to the set just days after the death of her father.

The Riches star put production of BBC thriller The Deep In Dumbarton on hold as she flew back to London from the shoot in Scotland following her dad Ronnie’s heart attack in early December (09).
Ronnie subsequently passed away and Driver was back at work just days later.

A source tells Scotland’s Sunday Mail newspaper, “Most of the filming revolves around Minnie and when she had to rush off to be at her father’s bedside after his heart attack, it was feared everything would have to stop.

“But she was back on the Monday. Nothing was said until someone asked how her father was keeping. She broke down and said he’d just died. Everyone felt so sorry for her and she was clearly very distressed. It was a difficult time for her but her professionalism shone through.”
