Speaking about her return to the village, Sarah revealed how she didn't find out Gary Lucy was back until she got her first scripts.

"I actually didn't know that to begin with," she said on This Morning.

"I got one of my first scripts and it was Mandy and Luke. So yeah the two of us back together."

Asked about how together the former couple are, Sarah confirmed they are back together as a couple but they are not exactly love's young dream.

"They are back together, I can tell you that," she said.

"They are a couple. Mandy and Luke return together and obviously six years is a long time and Luke's been gone for 15 years so there's a lot."
