But although the on-screen couple appear to be getting on rather well behind the scenes, at a recent press screening actress Michelle revealed that it wasn’t always like this.
She told Daily Star and other press: “In the old days – because we would talk about what we were like – we would row coming out of our dressing room.”
She continued: “We would row going to the set, we would on the set and we would row off set back to our dressing rooms. We spent our whole life squabbling, it was kind of bizarre!”
Chiming in, Adam said: “Yeah we’ve got over that now!”
Michelle added: “Both of us have mellowed. I think we’re both just a bit more kind of comfortable in our lives.”

Earlier in the conversation, Adam also admitted that working with Michelle now was like wearing an “old pair of slippers”.
He said: “Well working with Michelle, I mean no offence has been like putting on an old pair of slippers.
“It’s comfortable, it just works.”
Explaining Cindy’s epic comeback, after it was believed that she had passed away while in prison, executive Producer Chris Clenshaw revealed that it was important that they kept to the facts.

He said: “When we decided to bring Cindy back it was imperative that we stuck to the facts that had played out on screen beforehand to ensure that the storyline was credible.
“Back in 1998 viewers were left to believe that jailed Cindy had died off screen while giving birth to her namesake daughter who was then left in the custody of her sister Gina. But crucially neither we nor Ian ever saw the body.
“It was always going around in the back of my mind, it was always there,” he mused, addressing the idea of Cindy’s comeback.
