Maybe having to pretend to be in love with someone and then jump into bed with them breaks the ice very quickly; friendship follows fast.

I always took 'Coronation Street' a year at a time anyway. It was the 50th anniversary; I'd been there five years. It just felt right to leave.

So many people say you have to remember to grab hold of your bride or groom and spend time with them. I think if we had done a traditional wedding, we would have been doing it for everyone else, but this was about the two of us.

I've already been married six times in my career as an actress - twice as Becky - so I think a wedding of my own might feel too much like work!

I love going to other people's weddings, but I have never desired a big white wedding for myself, and it has never been put on me as a pressure, an expectation.
