The 40-year-old has previously chatted about kissing the star, admitting that she didn't think he would be a good kisser. During an appearance of Loose Women back in July, she said: "I won't be mysterious, he was fabulous. I'm not going to lie. At first he was polite and I thought posh boys aren't very good kissers... but then when [director] Richard Curtis said to him go for it – oh did he!"
