BROADCHURCH fans are convinced the rapist was finally revealed in tonight’s episode.
The latest instalment of the drama reached a dramatic conclusion tonight as Trish finally gave her official statement, and suspicion fell on Lenny Henry’s character.
In the show, Trish, played by former Coronation Street star Julie Hesmondhalgh, is brutally raped at a party and fans have turned-armchair detectives in a bid to solve the mystery.
Many have singled out Ed Burnett, played by veteran comedian Lenny, as the sexual predator responsible for the crime.
They flocked to Twitter tonight as to point the finger at his Ed, Trish’s manager, after he received a visit from his police officer daughter.

She told him: “I need to talk to you” shortly before the credits rolled.
One wrote: “Its Lenny Henry #broadchurch,” and another added: “I’ve changed my mind I think it’s Lenny Henry”.
A third added: “As for the rapist ….bets are still on Lenny Henry #broadchurch.”
Another wrote: “It’s going to be Lenny Henry #alwayssuspected #Broadchurch.”
In the closing scenes, Trish received a disturbing text message from an anonymous user who warned her not to talk.
Many viewers were convinced they saw a shadow at her window at the episode reached it’s thrilling end – and they believe it proves the rapist may not be Ed Burnett after all.
Some have named Mark Latimer, the grieved father of murdered schoolboy Danny from the first two seasons, as the rapists.
Others have cast doubts on the vicar, Revered Paul Coates, who has been labelled ” a bit shifty” and the taxi driver who ruined his own alibi.
Mark Latimer may be part of original cast but no need to be in season 3 unless big part to play. He’s your man Hardy & Miller. #broadchurch
