She told the Mirror: “I don’t think I’m done yet. I’ve always said while I’m happy and I’m enjoying the work – the work matters to me, I’m not someone who just turns up – I’m not that sort of person. I’ve honestly had such a good time with it and I’m hoping that will continue and as long as it does I’m really happy to stay there.”

The actress added: “We’ve only just finished filming Christmas, so I’ve only just finished working with him, so at the moment it doesn’t feel that unusual because obviously we weren’t together all the time anyway. I still speak to him most days! So it doesn’t feel too bad at the moment but it will obviously be different.
