Love Rat, a new television production filmed in Cyprus has aired on Channel 5 for three consecutive nights, with the final episode being shown this evening.

The production was approved by the Cyprus Film Commission and “promotes the tourist characteristics of Cyprus, particularly Ayia Napa and Protaras”, the national investment promotion agency Invest Cyprus said.

“As stressed by the production team of the series in Cyprus, our country is becoming a hub for notable international television and film productions, a development that was among our goals to attract foreign film producers,” it added.

During the production, 48 Cypriot professionals were employed.

The series stars Sally Lindsay, Neil Morrissey, Gerald Kyd and Ramon Tikaram. Lindsay plays the main protagonist, Emma, a recent divorcée who escapes to Cyprus to take her mind off her unpleasant split from ex, Pete, played by Morrissey. She gets caught up in a romance with Niko, played by Kyd, who soon scarpers with her life savings that she lent him for a house he’s looking to buy, leading Emma to enlist Pete’s help to exact revenge.
