Denise van Outen feared it would be awkward working with Natalie Cassidy on EastEnders.
The pair engaged in a war of words when Cassidy commented on Van Outen returning to work after giving birth to her daughter Betsy.
In an interview with The Sun, Van Outen said: "She told me I should stay at home with my baby for Christ's sake.
"Then lo and behold, she had a baby and was sitting on Lorraine Kelly's sofa with the baby on her lap."
At the time, Van Outen retaliated on Twitter, writing: "Natalie's on Lorraine show now promoting her reality pregnancy/new mum show. Isn't that work???"
However, she said meeting up with Cassidy wasn't as awkward as she thought it would be.
"I thought it was going to be really awkward between us when we met. But she is lovely and it's fine. We're grown-ups. We had a laugh about it and we're mates now."
She added: "We both just admitted that you pass judgment before you have kids. All women do it."
Van Outen is due to play Karin Smart, a businesswoman who has a history with Phil Mitchell. Her scenes will air next month.
