Two stars of the small screen joined the tourists strolling by the River Ouse, in York, at the weekend.

Former EastEnder and Footballers' Wives star Gillian Taylforth was out walking with Gary Mavers, better known as Dr Atwood in TV's Peak Practice.

The pair were in York preparing for their roles in Richard Stockwell's Bad Blood, running at the Grand Opera House between March 24 and 29.

Gillian will play Vic, the love interest of Tom (Mavers), the ideal couple with the perfect marriage until their lives are turned upside down when Tom realises Vic cannot give him his longed-for son. Julie Butterfield, who recently played Julie in Hollyoaks, also appears in the production.
