ON ANDREW AND DUFFY : ‘Their relationship has been going through a sticky patch and Andrew thinks he can rekindle things by working with her – he doesn’t discuss it with her, he just turns up… Duffy is one of the best liked characters and people are bound to take her side.

ON GORY SCENES : ‘I’m a bit squeamish I have to confess, I had to do a horrible scene where this guy was in an accident and had a central heating pipe spearing his leg.
