Charley, best known for her nearly-19 year stint on the ITV soap as Debbie Dingle, recently shared an image of Sheridan sat at a dinner table, watching boxing on her phone and captioned it: ‘who says romance is dead’. She previously spoke about her friendship with beloved actress Sheridan on the Love, Laugh, Luke podcast with host, Luke Hamnett. ‘We spend so much time together. We’re always together,’ she said of their relationship. ‘We can lay on the bed and not speak for an hour and I’m like, ‘Oh s***, I forgot you were there. That’s the best, because we’re just scrolling on Instagram.’ Discussing how they came to be such firm friends, Charley said: ‘We actually met years ago, like years and years and years ago through the industry, and then we met a few years ago again. And then we’ve literally just been inseparable ever since. Charley had posted a picture of a night out between the two (Picture: Instagram/miss_charleywebb) ‘Honestly, I’m not joking, there’s a meme on Instagram which we always laugh at and it’s like two people and they make a noise and go, ‘Oh my god.’ ‘And it really scares them like they forgot the other person’s there. We’re so like that.’ Charley went on: ‘I was working in London and we just ended up spending so much time together. I just see her all the time.

We laugh so much but then we can have our quiet time.’ The two actresses share a great friendship (Picture: Instagram/sheridansmithster) While Charley did state that their relationship is platonic, she also discussed bisexuality on the same podcast, after a listener contacted the show concerned that she’d recently discovered she ‘might be bi’ after ‘getting with a girl at work’. When Luke asked Charley if she could relate, she didn’t hold back: ‘I mean … yeah’ she replied. ‘I just think if that’s the way that you want to go, I just think everybody should just totally be who they are. I have no issue with anybody being with anyone. ‘It’s all about the vibes. It’s all about the energy. Do what you want. I actually think so many girls, you know, vibe with a girl or whatever. ‘And maybe it’s less extreme than two guys. I just think because girls relate so well to each other.’ When Luke floated the theory that ;everyone is a bit bi’, Charley agreed, replying: ‘I have said this. Everybody.’ Charley spoke candidly on the podcast (Picture: Love, Laugh, Luke) ‘I do wonder if it is more of a girl thing than a guy thing. Like, my brother, Jamie Lomas, is so straight. He’s so straight. Like, there is…categorically no. ‘But also, it’s like this thing, isn’t it, of it being something that you have to discuss. ‘I’m just like, this coming out thing. It’s like, ‘What are you talking about? What do you mean coming out?’ You’re dating a girl or you’re dating a guy. It’s not you’re not coming out. ‘Well, I mean they are, but it shouldn’t be a thing. Just do what you want. ‘That is something that has to be gone. It has to be gone.’ Deals of the Day The viral LED face mask with over 350 lights that's currently discounted by £100 A friend said I looked 'snatched' – I credit this new Charlotte Tilbury powder Shop MySweetSmile's biggest Bank Holiday offers before they end Back-to-school shopping just got a lot cheaper thanks to Primark The back-to-school essential parents forget every year – and it could cost them Arrow MORE: Is Dawn leaving Emmerdale?
