Appearing on Lorraine last month, Heidi began: "I don't go on set, because we're trying to minimise the number of bodies on set. But there is actually somebody going round on set with a two metre pole to put between the actors at all times, it's like catholic disco in the 1970s."

Stephen then explained how humbled he felt that the show was able to continue. He told Lorraine in the same chat: "We've been overwhelmed by the amount of people contacting us just with their relief that something was still going to be the same, and I think as actors we underestimated that and it was humbling.
"We were working under restrictions but morale is good, things are good and we remember what it's all for in the end."
