Wilks explained: “I think the fact that Steve and I had been friends for years, breakfast show rivals for most of those, passing each other in the hallway and having a laugh as we disappeared into separate studios… we’re both successful as individuals and then coming together just lit the fuse for fun and fireworks.
“We brought two different fan bases together and well, here we are still surprising each other and ourselves,” she said.
Graham added: “Genuine friendship, trust, and being a fan of each other’s work.”
