Was he really murdered?

Liar fans think they've worked out what happened to evil Andrew Earlham (Ioan Gruffudd) - and it would be a huge twist!.

In the first series, it was revealed that Andrew was a serial rapist and had quickly turned on teacher Laura Nielsen (Joanne Froggatt).

Andrew was found dead in the cliffhanger ending, with many fans speculating who was behind it.

Now they have a new theory: that Andrew killed himself and used his death to frame Laura.

The latest episode showed a flashback of Andrew shouting, "You stole my life, now I'm going to steal yours!"

Episode 3 focused on potential murder suspect Carl Peterson (Howard Charles).

He is the husband of Winnie Peterson (Amy Nuttall), who was also one of Andrew's victims.

In a flashback it was revealed that Carl had attacked Andrew, but Laura proved he couldn't have been responsible for his murder.

This has further convinced fans that Andrew could've set this up to get his revenge on Laura.

But is there another detail we could've missed?

Liar continues on ITV1 on Monday 23rd April at 9pm.
