The two stars appeared on Good Morning Britain to discuss the play.
The Irish beauty was asked whether she swapped TV presenting for acting just to get close to the Eastenders actor.
She answered jokingly, “That’s pretty much it. I’ve been auditioning for EastEnders and everything and now finally I got cast with you.”
Laura ended the steamy conversation by saying, “There’s other stuff going on in the play as well.”
