Meanwhile, Stephen recalled meeting Jodie in the early days of her career.
He told: “Me and Jodie worked together years ago – we met on a production called Good Cop. Jodie had a small part and she was just magnificent to work with.
“I just saw her talent immediately and I just said to her: ‘Look, I think you’ve got an amazing talent and if I could in any way get your number – don’t worry, I’m happily married and all that – and contact my agents on your behalf?’ and she was like ‘What? Me? Honestly?’
