The couple tied the knot in 2022 after getting engaged in March 2020 and postponing their wedding due to the pandemic. Speaking about their on-set dynamic, Sally recently joked to OK! Magazine: 'I'd be very happy never to have a scene with him ever again. She continued: 'I love Joe to bits, but I don't like working with him – I'm never going to like working with him.

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'.
