Former Coronation Street<\/a> and current Waterloo Road<\/a> star Kym Marsh has spoken about the friendship she struck up with Neighbours<\/a> legend Jackie Woodburne and Home and Away<\/a> actor turned Club Disco diva, The X Factor judge and I Kissed a Boy\/Girl host Dannii Minogue.<\/p>\n

Marsh stars in new 5 drama The Imposter, in which a woman reunites with her mother after being given up for adoption. That’s what she says at least, but is she telling the truth?<\/p>\n

Marsh jetted off Down Under to film the British\/Australian four-part co-production, which was created by Neighbours boss Jason Herbison.<\/p>\n

While there, she formed a strong bond with her co-stars, something she opened up about in a chat with OK!<\/a><\/p>\n

“I am a 49-year-old woman, but it was the furthest I’d ever gone before alone,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I was all by myself flying off for six weeks without any of my family but they very quickly put me at ease. It felt like I had known everybody forever.”<\/p>\n

She further explained that really got along with Woodburne, with whom she shared a lot of scenes as the show’s mother-daughter duo (or are they?).<\/p>\n

“Jackie was incredible,” Marsh said. “She’s a bit of a royal really in terms of the TV world and she’s done a lot of stuff and she’s this very seasoned actress and then to work with her like that, she did take me under her wing because she knew I didn’t know anyone in Australia and we worked together a lot.<\/p>\n

“A lot of our scenes were together and she was just very supportive and lovely. I went out for dinner with her and felt very welcomed. And I think Jackie will be a friend forever, actually.”<\/p>\n

Marsh, who had her own singing career as part of Hear’Say and a brief solo venture, said of Minogue: “I literally crossed paths with Dannii once on camera. But I did meet her, and I had a lovely time with her.<\/p>\n

“She was a very nice nice human being. Very wonderful, warm, and friendly. She was great on set with everybody.”<\/p>\n

The Imposter begins next Monday (15 December) at 9pm on 5.<\/p>\n
