“I was also deluded, imagining that he'd fall in love with me and we'd run off. And of course [when we met] I was in a line-up of people where he just shook my hand and then went along the line, and I was crushed.
“But then one day I was sitting in make-up and he popped his head in the door and said hi. He came over, picked up a brush and just started brushing my hair. He didn't say anything — he just brushed it, then walked away. It was the most erotic experience of my life.”
According to the Mail Online the actress reportedly confirmed she is still engaged to property tycoon Patric Cassidy after rekindling their romance in November 2023.
