But when she cooks for him, she accidentally burns her hand, and is soon helped to hold it under a cold tap by the handsome visitor - a moment when they exchange a very telling romantic glance.  

Keeley, 50, said that when she discovered that the show was written by Adolescence writer Jack Throne, participating was a 'no-brainer' - even before she had read the script.

She told Grazia: 'That was a no-brainer before I'd even read the script. 

'Unbelievably for someone who's so prolific, he'd never written a love story before. I thought the story was absolutely beautiful.'

She said it was also a 'freeing' experience to film a show entirely in a robe. 

The actress admitted: 'It felt a bit like a costume drama, partly because we were wearing robes.
