Jill Halfpenny made a surprise revelation about dating her old Byker Grove co-star Ant McPartlin.
The actress, who is currently starring in BBC One drama In the Club, dished the dirt on her young love life during an appearance on This Morning.
Much to the delight of presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, Jill explained how she asked the TV presenter on a date as kids.
"We went to the cinema together, we went to see The Commitments in real life! I said to him ‘there’s a really good film that’s come out called The Commitments, do you wanna come?’ He was like ‘Ah aye, yeah great!"
Unfortunately it didn't end in the love story of the century for the Byker Grove stars as she explained their fates didn't intertwine successfully.
