But says she can't work with Joe because he makes her laugh

Joe stars on as the taxi boss Tim Metcalfe, but Sally would happily never work with him again if she could help it.

“I’d be very happy never to have a scene with him ever again,”; she joked in an interview with Ok!.

“I love Joe to bits, but I don’t like working with him – I’m never going to like working with him.”

Sally added: “Bless him, we’ve got very different work processes – let’s just put it like that. I like to come fully prepared and he likes to flesh it out on the floor.”

“Also, he’s very funny. I’m such a giggler and once I’ve gone, I’m gone. It’s terrible and even if people get annoyed about it, it doesn’t help.”

She continued: “He absolutely makes me howl with laughter and he does it on purpose. I get cross with him because he knows the situation, but he can’t help himself.”;

Sally and Joe after she first joined Corrie in 2017 and became 2020.

They finally tied the knot in 2022 after having to put their wedding on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking on Loose Women at the time, Sally explained they they decided to “defer” their big day for a year instead.

She explained: “I’m not quite sure where we’re gonna be in December, the way things have been dealt with so I didn’t want to risk arranging a wedding.

“We want to have a party – so if there’s 15 people allowed to come, it’s not great really.

“So we thought that it was best if we defer it for a year, and hopefully get the wedding that we want.”

Sally also recently spoke about her character's dramas on the cobbles, including a

“It's complete lust at first sight,” Sally told Ok!.

“There's that undeniable chemistry – it's palpable. They just click. It was an instant attraction – they bounced off each other and it reignites something in Abi that's been dormant for ages.

“She's an addict and this gives her a thrill. It's a different kind of thrill, but it's exhilarating for her.”
