In a joint interview with Access TV, Rege, 31, put any speculation that the pair were romantically linked to rest, while Phoebe, 25, stayed silent and looked on with a smile.
He explained: “I think that everything you need to know is on camera. All the sparks that flew came off the beautiful scripts we were handed.
“So I think that the sparky words, scripts and material are more than enough.”

“She said, ‘I came back, and you were still going, so I had to go back and put the kettle back on.'”
