‘Bless him, we’ve got very different work processes – let’s just put it like that. I like to come fully prepared, and he likes to flesh it out on the floor.’ 

Sally and Joe quickly fell in love after she first joined the cobbles in 2017.

Previously appearing on Loose Women, Sally explained why they postponed their wedding.

She said: ‘I’m not quite sure where we’re gonna be in December, the way things have been dealt with so I didn’t want to risk arranging a wedding.

‘We want to have a party – so if there’s 15 people allowed to come, it’s not great really.

‘So we thought that it was best if we defer it for a year, and hopefully get the wedding that we want.’

On the Coronation Street front, Sally also opened up about her character’s latest drama – a secret fling with her brother-in-law, Carl, while husband Kevin battles cancer.

She told OK! that the storyline is ‘complete lust at first sight’, and said there’s ‘undeniable chemistry’ between the characters, adding that her addict character finds the affair ‘exhilarating’.
