Coronation Street star Debra Stephenson has revealed she has no plans to split up from husband James Duffield after claims of a “deep love” between her and co-star Bradley Walsh.

Debra, performing at a variety night at Blackpool’s North Pier Theatre, told the audience: “[James and I] have been together for 14 years and married for seven. We have got a little boy together and another one on the way, but I guess you know that already. My husband is the love of my life.”

Bradley and Debra have reportedly admitted to their respective partners that they’d had a love affair but that they had not had sex.
