This is England and Peaky Blinders star Stephen Graham has had many on-screen partnerships which are memorable and solidify his role as a UK TV legend, but it's off camera that his greatest love story unfolded, with actress wife, Hannah Walters, who he met in drama school back in the 1990s.
The couple's love story is a slow burn, much like Combo and Lol's from This is England, but, thankfully, has way more of a happy ending. The pair, who married in June 2008, were close friends before falling in love - but they almost didn't get together after Stephen admitted, on Desert Island Discs in 2019, that he was unsure of what he wanted, being in his early twenties and that the saying 'you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone' is truer than he thought.
He explained: "She went to Spain for a little bit and I couldn't see her, and she was going to move out there. She came back and we hadn't been on a date in these five years, six years, just talking lots. And I said 'can I take you on a date?' She went 'what?'
