The 36-year-old actress - who plays Chrissie White in the soap - admits it was awkward initially having to share an on-screen smooch with the 32-year-old hunk (Andy Sugden), but she soon felt comfortable because the star is "very professional".

She said: "Before you kiss someone on screen for the first time, it's a bit weird that you're just expected to go for it.

"But you have to trust the professionalism of the other person.

"And Kelvin's very professional, as he's been doing this for a long time. Kissing Kelvin - as well as Ryan [Hawley, who plays Robert Sugden] - felt easy."

But the brunette beauty admitted shooting sexy scenes isn't always simple as she recently had an unavoidable wardrobe malfunction while her character and Andy were getting jiggy with it.

She added to Inside Soap magazine: "That scene where Andy and Chrissie first get it on in the barn, the crew could see right up my skirt.

"I had this tiny little skirt and suspenders on, and they could see everything. Because the scene was being lit for filming, I couldn't move for ages - it was just bizarre."

Kelvin said: "It's usually freezing, but we have a good laugh. You just have to embrace it."
