Emmerdale actress Natalie J Robb recently opened up about her split from co-star Jonny McPherson and revealed the real reason they split up.
The Moira Dingle star, 49, gave an emotionally frank interview just before Christmas on their relationship.
She dated co-star Jonny, who plays Liam Cavanagh in the ITV soap, during lockdown.
The pair were revealed to be a couple when they appeared on a soap Zoom together when the country was banned from visiting each other.
They split less than a year later.
And Natalie has told how they got together and ultimately what spelled the end for them.
Emmerdale news: Natalie J Robb on split
The Moira Dingle star tells how she is currently happily single living with her dog Bronson.
And Natalie revealed that because she’s so busy, she finds it difficult to meet new people – and so that’s how she ended up dating people she worked with.
Speaking for the first time about her split, Natalie told The Sun: “Unfortunately, it was Covid times, so there was this added pressure.
“He moved in with me during the first lockdown and it was just too intense, too soon. And if you’re not used to that, which I hadn’t been for a while, we realised pretty quickly that we were better off as friends.”
Natalie on her decision to not have kids
The actress also opened up about being questioned over not having children.
Natalie said people judge her for not having them as a woman approaching 50.
She said: “I used to get judged for not having children. People would be like: ‘What? You don’t have any kids and you’re single? You must be crazy.’ But I just never had that feeling of: ‘Oh my god, I’ve got to have a baby.’ It has to be the right situation – I didn’t want to go and do something like that on my own.”

She had desperately tried to cover it up, but the arrival of Cain’s brother, Caleb sent things spiralling out of control. Caleb has promised his lawyers will make sure Kyle gets a lesser sentence, but Cain has stopped talking to his wife over it.

Will they reconcile? Can Cain forgive her? Or are they over for good?
