It was clearly fate that Kym Marsh would end up with Simon Gregson as her on-screen husband in Coronation Street.
Talking to the Mirror, the actress revealed a hilarious secret about her childhood years that perhaps led her to playing Michelle McDonald, who is currently wrapped up in a pregnancy triangle with Steve (Gregson) and Leanne (Jane Danson) in the ITV soap.
"I actually had a poster of Simon on my wall when I was younger, which is so weird. He was a heart-throb in the day! I love Simon, he's gorgeous like a teddy bear, he's lovely," she explained.
Marsh added that he can be difficult to film with, but has developed a technique over the years: "You have to look slightly past him so you can't see his face. We just try to complement each other and make it funnier. We enjoy working together."
And if you think that being pregnant in Corrie might make her want another baby in real life, she says that she's "done my bit for motherhood".
Last week, it was revealed that Steve's baby drama is about to get even more stressful when he is told he has a genetic condition that could affect one or both of his unborn kids. He will apparently tell his wife about it, and she'll confide to none-other than Leanne. Uh-oh.
