JOSEPH ON CAROLINE

Caroline's very romantic. She's the first and only woman to send me flowers and I cried. We'd met in March 1997 on a tour of Noel Coward's Salad Days, but I left the company before she did.

Ten months later I asked her to marry me while we were in Paris. I know it is a really romantic city, but I didn't really plan it.

I had a week off from the theatre run I was in so I went over to see Caroline who was in a production there.

We decided to go up the Eiffel Tower because we thought it was something lovely to do as a couple, even though it was freezing cold. The inspiration must have been divine as

I never thought, "Oh, this is the Eiffel Tower, it'll be a good moment to pop the question."

Joseph Millson, the actor who plays the dashing young GP, also found himself heavily involved with a woman during filming - his new wife.

The handsome 25-year-old took just three days out of a hectic shooting schedule to marry his girlfriend, actress Caroline Fitzgerald.

''We had planned the wedding before I got the job on Peak Practice,'' he explains. ''We got engaged in February last year after meeting in the West End production of Salad Days.

''I had to rush down from the Peak District shoot to Berkshire for the wedding and then be back on set just a few days later.''
